Lifted our shallots last night. Got about 40 from 8 sets, not sure if this is good, but we are very proud.

So, now what do I do with them? (after they have dried, already made notes from the "how to dry" thread!)

How do you guys use them in cooking?

I have made 'posh' pickled onions from some, roasted shallot tarts make a delicious started or supper, on kebabs, in stew and so on.

You can use them in your stews, coq au vin etc  :)

I also make pickled onions with some, the others I've plaited and hung up in the kitchen. I've been roasting them whole with a couple of cloves of garlic, they are delish. :)

Wherever a recipe calls for shallots - as so many do!!

They are a more convenient size for some uses & they do taste different.

The pickles - yes, they're the best.
