Shallot flakes
 
Idea to transform shallots from your vegetable garden into a consumer product
 
After the harvest season or simply when a particular Alliaceae crop is ready for harvest, one may find themselves with an abundance of raw material.

Kevin Prescott presents his techniques and recipes for transforming this top-quality raw material to promote improve its self-sufficiency.

In this article, Mr. Salut! shows us how he practices food self-sufficiency by transforming shallots from his vegetable garden into dried shallot flakes (greens).
 
 
 
 
1. What can we do with... The Shallot?
 
1A - Dehydrated shallot flakes!
 
 
Ingredients :
 
  • Leaves of shallots or shallot greens or shallot stems.
 
 
 
 
Directions :
 
  • Wash.

  • Cut shallot leaves into 1/4 inch pieces.

  • Spread the pieces on the dehydrator trays in thin and even layers.

  • Dry for 6 to 10 hours, depending on the model, at 125 °F or 52 °C (temperature to preserve the flavor and color of the food).

  • Check if the pieces are well dried and continue if not.

  • Store in an airtight container in a dry place.

  • See photos below.
