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.
