Notes

If you're not a big fan of the spiciness of onions, simply put the sliced shallots in a colander and place the collander on a bowl. Then pour boiling water over the shallots and let them soak for about 30-60 seconds and then drain well. This removes the oniony spiciness but also softens the onions quite a bit. I like the spiciness and I like the crunch of the unrinsed shallots.
