How to mince a shallot
|
The flavor of a shallot falls somewhere between red onion and garlic, often without the pungency of either. The shallot's subtle flavor works in soups, stews, sauces, and pretty much anywhere else you'd use an onion or garlic. |
| To dice a shallot, first cut it in half through the root. |  |
| Next, cut the papery end (not the root end) off and discard it. This will make the skin easier to peel away. |  |
| Make a series of vertical cuts through the shallot, without cutting all the way through to the end. |  |
| Then just rotate the shallot 90 degrees, and slice across the vertical cuts to make a dice. |  |
