Simple Tomatillo Salad
No need to complicate this one, you are working with amazing farm fresh ingredients after all! This simple salad is a great way to celebrate the tomatillo.
Ingredient: Shallots
Shallots
- Description-
Shallots are a variety of an onion. They are pointed and pear shaped with a thin papery covering. Shallots grow in clusters, the bulb section of the plant is what we use in our kitchens. Shallots have a more mild flavor than their counterpart, the onion.
- Preparation-
Remove the papery outside covering of the bulb and discard it. Shallots are treated just like you would an onion.
- Storage-
The best way to store shallots is in a paper bag with holes punched in it for the shallots to have air circulate around them. Without the air circulating they will sprout and mold. Do not store them in the fridge.
- Nutrition-
Shallots do not have any substantial nutritional value, they are used mostly to flavor dishes.
Recipes Using Shallots
Orange Hoisin Glazed Salmon with Bok Choy Salad
The directions are for both the salmon and the bok choy (stir- fry and salad version) to be made simultaneously so they are ready at the same time. Give it a solid read-through before attempting as this recipe moves quickly once started. As the whole thing takes only 10 minutes start to finish, you can cook your rice/noodles while prepping the other ingredients.
