How to Slice Shallots
Thinly sliced shallots are used raw in vinaigrettes and salads, and cooked in sauces and garnishes.
Key points
- Work from a peeled half placed flat on the board.
- Slice thinly and evenly with the tip of the knife.
- Separate the rings for salads or keep them stacked for cooking.
