Thanks for answering my question.

I use them to make red wine sauce for my steak. So delicious!

That is a great way! Shallots have this great oniony flavor, but just better. Have you tried sweating them down in that red wine sauce into a jam-like consistency? Man, that’s yummy. Thanks for sharing how you use them!
