Yummy~ but needs a bit of maneuvering towards the end with the shallot piece unless you want to walk around with a full pack of gum in your mouth the next day... Since shallots vary so widely in size- perhaps a measurement (possible possibly 1/4 cup/ or 3 TBSP?) anyway- Ambassador Clark is always spot on with her magic touch- thank you!
