OK, so it actually means in "blood" sauce. =)

LSC emailed this a while back with fantabulous STEP-BY-STEP photos! Alas, they are no longer available. =(

LSC gave me her images! They're now posted here, woohoo. (as of March 1, 2008)

6 - 8 shallots - minced

  2. At Asian markets/supermarkets. I'm not sure if T&T Supermarket would have it all the time or just sometimes.
