    There will probably be tears 😭

  3. This past week I made the Fried Brussels Sprouts with Fish Sauce, Shallots, and Chiles recipe from J. Kenji Lopez-Alt’s _The Wok_.

    It was good! But I think next time I’ll roast the Brussels sprouts and shallots instead of frying. 4 stars ★★★★☆

  4. #NCP

    The last of our fall harvest of shallots. I grew about 3.5kg of them last year. These cellar exceptionally well (the remainder are still nice and firm), and I have about 500g left. We used these all winter long. My fave use: as onions for burgers - they're way better than standard white or yellow onions. Also. grew these from seed, which, for onions, is a bit of a process.

  5. I just cut a bunch of shallots and had to take breaks cause they made me cry so hard. Why am I so sensitive to them??? #shallots #onions #cooking #crying

  6. The big main bed has had all the garlic harvested, there remains #onions, #leeks, #shallots & other heirloom #tomatoes. Some “Day of the Dead” #marigolds have returned! My #zinnias, #pumpkins and #squash have all burst through the woodchip layer. Soon this whole #garden bed will be criss-crossed by vines.

  7. I put butter in a skillet, then sugar, then balsamic vinegar, rosemary & thyme, and then I added the shallots and some salt, stirred till each shallot was coated with sweet smelling goo and put the skillet in the oven for forty minutes at 200°C/400°F.

    The shallots are still in the freezer, on a big tray, so they can freeze in a proper Greta Garbo fashion.

    I tasted one small shallot: utterly & preposterously divine.

  8. How to Grow Shallots

    Crop failure last year in Europe has led to a severe shortage of shallot sets here. I have some sets saved from last year and will add to these by planting supermarket shallots which are still available (imported from Asia). Books often say that supermarket shallots are heat treated to stop them sprouting, but I have found this to be untrue.

  9. Raclette-Gruyère Mac and Cheese with Pickled Shallots 🍷

    Inspired by älplermagronen, #Alpine farmers' #macaroni, this Swiss twist on a Thanksgiving classic gets rich flavor from #Gruyère and a lush creaminess from #Raclette. Traditional versions of this dish are served with applesauce; as a nod to that flavor play, we've added some #shallots that are quickly pickled in apple cider vinegar to balance the cheesy richness.

  10. Here is this #year's #crop so far of #garlic (and a few #onions or #shallots). It should keep us going for many months. We only used #organic #fertilizer (well rotted #HorseManure) and it seems to have paid off dividends.
