ideas for shallots

[cambourne7]

Hi Guys,

Pulled a load of shallots on friday and left them to dry, they had started to go to seed which is why i pulled them. BUT they have continued to go to seed in the heat.

I guess i need to do something with them quickly, i plan on pulling one of 2 i have seen which have split and repot. Which leaves me with about 30 or 40 small shallots any ideas what i can do with them?

But DON'T rush to eat. Store them for so many recipes.

Pickled? Much the same as Onions, but so much nicer

[cambourne7]

yes put if they have started to go to seed they will not store will they?

ou can make a savoury shallot tartin (like apple lees sugar for the caramel but otherwise the same ) great with a green salad for lunch

Sorry, Cambourne, thought you still had some over to store.

[cambourne7]

If you are going to pickle put some honey in the vinegar,brilliant.
