So, what is shallot?
Shallots are a versatile and flavorful ingredient in the onion family. They have a more delicate and sweet taste than regular onions, with a hint of garlic flavor. Shallots are smaller and oval-shaped than onions, with a brown or reddish-brown papery skin. They are commonly used in French cuisine, where they are often sautéed in butter to add depth and complexity to sauces, soups, and stews. Shallots are also popular in Asian and Middle Eastern cooking, where they are often pickled or added to salads. With their distinct flavor and texture, shallots add a gourmet touch to any dish.
