Product Information
Ocado Echalion Shallots.
A convenient and mild alternative to onions, Echalion shallots are prized for their delicate flavour and easy-to-slice shape. Also known as banana shallots, they have a distinctive long and elongated body, with a beautiful coppery-pink papery skin. The taste is much sweeter and milder than a regular onion, without the harshness.
Thanks to their delicate flavour, Echalion shallots are a perfect choice for a wide range of fresh uses. When finely diced, they are an essential ingredient for vinaigrettes and dressings, as they add a subtle savoury note without overpowering the other flavours. You can also thinly slice them and add them to salads or sandwiches for a delicate, sweet crunch.
When cooked, their flavour mellows even further, becoming wonderfully sweet. Their long shape makes them incredibly easy to slice, making them a great choice for gently sautéing as a base for sauces for meat and fish, or for roasting alongside other vegetables. They can also be used in stir-fries or savoury tarts for a delicate, sweet onion flavour.
