All Chopped Up and Ready To Go

Again, Trader Joe's has another great item for helping us homecooks: a container that has chopped shallots, garlic and onion. I used it to put under the skin of a whole chicken along with lemon slices and minced fresh rosemary, sea salt and pepper, more of the same inside the chicken and olive oil and salt and pepper on top of skin. Really good. Used it in a meatloaf as well, very good. What I like about it is it is something I would never think about, but with it right there at TJ's it give us additional possibilities to broaden our cooking scope.
