shallot

As for cooking radish greens, they can be sautéed with garlic and shallots, LaMarita suggested.

On the morning of the lunch, Ms Patterson recounted frying off some garlic, shallots and several trays of supermarket-bought mushrooms that had been finely chopped in a food processor.

There’s also strawberry vinaigrette, a simple yet refreshing recipe that calls for frozen/fresh strawberries, honey, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, shallot, salt and ground black pepper.

In a large bowl, stir together balsamic, oil, lemon juice, shallot, honey, salt and pepper, to taste.

Add fennel, shallot, a touch of honey, bright lemon and a blend of tarragon and fennel fronds, and it becomes the perfect Greek-Italian mash-up to welcome spring.
