Shallots

Whilst our onion crop was at best mediocre, the shallots, growing on the same bed, have done well. They were planted on Dad's allotment in the early spring and were harvested yesterday. I haven't pickled shallots before (I have pickled onions and they were fantastic!) but I may do so this time. We're also thinking about making a liver casserole (we have lots of offal from the pigs to use up) but are debating whether to use shallots or onions with it. The battle is not yet settled.....
