Penzeys Shallots

I got a jar of Penzey's air dried shallots for free with my last order. They are wonderful! I've put them in soups and added them to grains/beans. They will be a regular at my house!

I got them too. I've just used them once, on a chicken breast that I was grilling on my George Foreman grill. I look forward to trying them in other recipes. They taste wonderful.

I love them in soups. They even perk up canned soups! Also good in deviled eggs..I use them in my ground beef for hamburgers even! Also I scrambled eggs and omelets..tuna salad and chicken salad..they rehydrate really easily and I don't always have fresh on hand...

I've ordered these several times, and my favorite way to use them is in homade salad dressings. It is so much easier than dealing with fresh shallots.

I love these shallots and throw them into everything . . . I prefer the shallot flavor over onions many times so it's so nice to have on hand just in case you run into a recipe you would like to try but don't have a fresh shallot on hand (which I almost never do). These are a great addition to anyone's pantry . . . love!

When I bought Penzeys shallots in their Portland, OR store the clerk recommended storing them in the refrigerator. Love them. Need to reorder.

I like the shallot pepper. I had a recipe published in the catalog using the shallot pepper.

I tried the shallots, but I didn't buy them again.

@HonnyBrown these are the new, AIR dried shallots, not the freeze dried ones we had in the past...i like them a lot better...

Have you tried My Spice Sage ? I have been using them for years and the spices are always fresh. You buy in bulk in as little as an ounce and they carry gourmet spices as well as everyday spices. Plus free shipping with no minimum; and usually a choice of a free spice sample. In two orders I received two vanilla beans per order....a good deal in my book. I used to buy from Penzy's until I discovered My Spice Sage. Sometimes you just want a bit of a new spice to try instead of buying a whole bottle. I have many recipes I wanted to try that called for spices I wasn't familar with and was happy I discovered My Spice Sage.
