The sweetly fragrant shallots are not a dish or meal in itself but it is very useful in other preparations, just like the delicate oil they are roasted in.

I enjoy the sweet flavor when used as a topping for pizza or when you use the shallots and the oil to sauté mushrooms with white wine and butter to toss with pasta or serve over grilled chicken.
The shallots as well as the delicate oil is great for topping steamed or grilled vegetables as well as using it in sauces or dressings.
It is easy to make and lasts several weeks in the refrigerator.
