Shallot onion description
Shallot has long been used in food, and in folk medicine it occupies a worthy place. This vegetable is grown in many countries around the world - in nature, shallots are practically not found. There are different varieties of it - some of them have a rather sharp taste, but most often this vegetable is pleased with the absence of a sharp onion "spirit". does not interfere with the perception of the gamut of foods, so it fits organically into the recipes of many dishes (this explains its high popularity among chefs - dishes and marinades with the addition of shallots have original flavor and taste).
Harvesting Shallot Onions
Shallots are not capricious in storage. Greens are harvested and used as food in the spring, and they start mass harvesting of onions in mid-summer (starting from the end of July).
Green leaves are stored in a cool room or in the refrigerator for no longer than five days (after that they lose their presentation). It is noticed that feathers (leaves of shallot) keep freshness longer, if they lie in bulk, and not in bunches.
In the middle of summer, shallot bulbs are removed from the ground, undermining "nests" with a pitchfork or shovel. Cleaning is carried out in sunny dry weather. Before being sent to storage, they are sorted and dried well at a temperature of 25-35 ° C. Often the crop for a couple of days is left to dry directly on the beds (if no rain is expected). The leaves are pruned after they are completely dry, leaving only 3-5 cm.
Harvest is placed in dry cool the room, having disassembled the “nests” into separate bulbs and putting them in boxes or cardboard boxes. Often, shallots are stored, woven into braids, using dried and uncut leaves and strong twine. Such braids are suspended in the cellar (when threatened by frost, they are covered with sackcloth).
Optimum storage temperature: 0-3 ° С, air humidity: 60-70%. Under all conditions, shallots can be stored for eight or more months (if the storage temperature is always within 0-1 ° C, then shallots can retain their benefits for two years).
The bulbs intended for planting do not require adherence to a constant temperature regime (in the warm period, shallots are stored at 18–20 ° C, and in the cold period at 0–1 ° C).
Frozen Shallot
Immediately after harvest, the bulbs are cleaned, cut, slightly moistened, frozen, placed in tight-fitting plastic boxes, and left in the freezer. Similarly, the feathers (leaves) of shallots are frozen.
Dried Shallots
Dried shallots are used as a spice (in most cases it is ground into powder). To dry the shallot, it is cleaned, washed, placed in a salt solution (50 g of salt per 1 liter of water), allowed to dry, finely cut and dried in the sun.
The shallots are also dried in the oven, but in this case the kitchen is well aired. The optimum drying temperature is 50-60 ° C (duration of the process: 5-6 hours). During drying, the onions are periodically mixed.
Marinated Shallots

- Acetic Essence - 12 ml
- Salt - 20 g
- Water - 1 l
- Carnation - 2-3 pcs.

Peeled shallots are blanched with boiling water in boiling water for a couple of minutes, immediately cooled and placed in sterilized jars. Onions are poured with marinade, covered with lids, sterilized (0.5 and 1 liter - 10 and 15 minutes respectively) and sealed.
Canned Shallot (vintage recipe)

Boil the vinegar, add the spices (peppercorns, cloves), put the onion there and boil until softened. The cooled mass is transferred to clean jars, covered with a capron lid and sent to the cellar (as an option - in the fridge).
