Freeze Dried Shallots are a frequent addition to many soup and sauce recipes because of their unique onion & garlic flavor. Commonly used in French cooking before coming to the States, these dried shallots are great for using in your favorite meats, seafood and veggies. Add dried minced shallots to bread loaves for an oniony kick.
Their taste is not as strong as white onion, but more of a cross between a sweet onion and mild garlic. Dried shallots pair well with most herbs and spices.
Reconstitute dry shallots by covering with equal parts water to shallot, use as-is in longer cooking recipes. Dried shallots can also be used to make a shallot powder via blender or mortar and pestle, or you can crumble the dehydrated shallots in your hand.
