Peeling shallots is easier than you think with these simple steps.
Step 1
To soften the skins, blanch the shallots first - cover them with boiling water and stand for 5 minutes.
Step 2
To peel, use a small sharp knife to trim the base from each shallot then pull back the skin to remove.
Step 3
Once you've removed the skin from the shallots, trim the tops then slice, chop or cook whole.
