Serving Suggestions:

• When I was reading through tomorrow’s list, shallots stood out for some reason, probably because I prepare a lot of them for various Thanksgiving dishes this time of year. If you need some inspiration, these are a few of the most shallot-forward recipes I could think of:
  • The crispy shallot portion of this Samin Nosrat recipe is fantastic and surprisingly easy. I previously shared it here.
  • Alison Roman’s internet-famous “shallot pasta” recipe made the rounds when people were doing a lot of home cooking during COVID. Would you believe that I still have never actually made it?! If you’re looking for something to eat in the days before or after Thanksgiving that is decidedly different, give this one a try.
  • After hearing Claire Saffitz talk about her family’s Glazed Shallots recipe I gave it a try for Thanksgiving last year. It was quite good and something I will try again but probably not for the big day since there are so many other traditional dishes that must make the table.
