The frozen ones will work but likely would need to be dumped in later. You can generally find some good small ones in a good produce market. Size isn't too critical but they should be small and mild. I suspect fresh shallots would be good but never tried. It is a great dish with some buttery mashed potatoes with chives and a loaf of rustic style crunchy bread.
The peasant part is correct. I suspect hunter's stew and peasant's stew are likely interchangeable. A hunter's stew probably means one that is essentially meat and able to be cooked rough over or in a campfire. Leeks or wild onions may have been the original other ingredient.
