Different shallot cuts:
The two most common shallot cuts you will find in recipes are sliced shallots and minced shallots and I included both in this guide. Slices are a great cut for caramelizing shallots, like for this gourmet grilled cheese, for example. Minced shallots are an essential ingredient in many different recipes, from salad dressings to sauces.
