Freeze Dried Shallots
$6.95
Savory
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.
How to Use
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.
