French Echalions are a larger variety of shallot that are much more user friendly than the normal variety as they are larger and much easier to peel than the traditional shallot. Also known as Banana Shallots, French Echalions have a mild subtle flavour and are ideal for braising and roasting and can be used everywhere onions or shallots are used.
