By Thistledo 29 Jan 2013 08:06	Onions v shallots I use those banana? shallots. Very easy to peel and chop. Love them and their sweetness. Ideal for casseroles and raw rings sprinkled on a steak maybe. Reply Quote
By Yummy 29 Jan 2013 10:16	onion v shallots I use them in different dishes as I think they have a different taste, just as Spring Onions taste differently. But it is just that, a matter of taste. Reply Quote
By Biggles ! 29 Jan 2013 11:21	Onion or Shallot ? I use onion in most dishes and use finely chopped shallot when making a sauce and for roasting whole to have with roast lamb. If I have a lot of shallots available then I will use them, but I agree with Elpe, they are fiddly to peel. Reply Quote
