Usage
To apply the Shallot Food Crayon, you need to sharpen some shavings directly onto your plates, desserts, or drinks as you serve them. The shavings will release the shallot flavor and add a fresh taste to your dishes.

Serving size
The recommended amount is 5 to 10 shavings per plate, depending on your preference and the dish size. For bite-size servings or drinks, 1 or 2 shavings should suffice.

Shelf life and storage
The Shallot Food Crayon has a shelf life of up to 12 months. Ensure that you store the crayon in its tube and keep it in the fridge once opened to maintain its freshness and quality.

Pairings

Tartares: Whether it's beef, salmon, or tuna tartare, incorporating shallots shavings can provide a subtle, sweet, and slightly pungent flavor that complements the raw meat or fish.

Salsas: Raw shallots can be an excellent addition to fresh salsas, especially if you want a more refined and milder onion taste compared to using regular onions. They work well in tomato-based salsas, fruit salsas, or herb-based salsas.

Salads: Shallots shavings can be a perfect addition to green salads. They contribute a delicate onion flavor that doesn't overpower the salad's other ingredients. They pair well with vinaigrette dressings or light citrus-based dressings.

Steak: Although many people enjoy sautéed onions or garlic butter with their steak, some prefer the milder taste of raw shallots. When sprinkled over the steak, they can offer a delicate and refreshing contrast to the meat's richness.

Dips and Dressings: Shallots shavings can be used in various dips and dressings, such as yogurt-based sauces, aioli, or mayonnaise-based dressings, to add a gentle onion note.

Seafood: They can be a fantastic accompaniment to various seafood dishes, including ceviche, oysters, or grilled fish. The shallots' mild flavor won't overpower the delicate taste of the seafood.

Ceviche: When making ceviche, shallots can be mixed with lime or lemon juice to marinate the fish or seafood, adding a touch of pungency to the dish.
