Shallots - Big Red
These lovely tasting Shallots are fantastic for pickling and garnishing your favourite meat dishes and roasts etc. Shallots have a distinct onion based flavour though not as strong and are used a lot in salads and for bottling. They can be used in replace of an onion in most dishes.
