Hey,
For this Seasonal Sunday, we’re giving some love to shallots, the delicate, slightly sweet cousins of onions that make everything taste just a little more special. They have that perfect onion-meets-garlic flavor, but softer, rounder and wonderfully aromatic.
I love using raw shallots in dressings, especially in my Poppyseed Magic Dressing, because they add just the right amount of brightness without overpowering anything. They’re also delicious finely sliced into salads, tossed into grain bowls or roasted until they turn silky and sweet. And they are a regular in all of my soups, along with onion and garlic. If you’ve ever been a student of mine, you know this technique.
If you want something simple but deeply flavorful this week, start with a shallot. A little goes a long way.
I started out over 10 years ago watching Forks Over Knives, decided to “try out” the plant-based meal plan and had shockingly incredible results. I’ve never turned back. I have lost nearly 50 pounds, and that is just one side effect that me, my family, friends and clients have experienced after making the change.
Having been an incredible cook my entire adult life, I started my own personal chef service, NuYu Nourish, to extend my help to others. I interned under a celebrity chef, became a celebrity chef myself and have been expanding my reach and goals ever since! My plan follows strictly and simply those of Dr. Mcdougall, Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Esselstyn.
