Today’s inspirational recipe from Lavender and Lime ♥ Pasta With Shallots And Sausage ♥ #LavenderAndLime Share on X
It is not often that I can find shallots at Woolworths, and so when I do I make sure I buy them. To me this is a staple ingredient in Europe and one I have transported often in my suitcase. In fact, the last lot came all the way from Johannesburg, but I managed to find some locally last week. Dave much prefers shallots to onions as they are milder in taste. I love them as we never need an entire onion for a dish. Unless of course I am making a super huge batch of oxtail. Here is a recipe for Pasta With Shallots And Sausage and cherry tomatoes for colour. I prefer to use shallots as they are sweeter and smaller than onions. Often if I cannot find them we end up cooking the entire onion and setting half aside to use at another time.

What sausage did you use?
Any and all sausages would work for me. It sounds delicious with the flavor enhancing elements that go into it!
So hungry…
it is a great way to use up the sausages we did not eat over the weekend as hotdogs. Thanks for the visit 🙂
the ones we had in the fridge which I think were German sausages 🙂
