Shallots
Shallots are small members of the allium family with a flavor that combines the sweetness of onions with the delicate, savory character of garlic. They typically grow in clusters of elongated bulbs and have copper, reddish, or golden papery skins.
Shallots are prized for their ability to add depth without overpowering other ingredients. They are especially useful in sauces, vinaigrettes, roasted vegetables, and dishes where a more delicate onion flavor is desired.
Where to buy fresh Shallots near you
Choose shallots that are firm, dry, and heavy for their size. The outer skin should be dry and intact. Avoid bulbs that are soft, damp, sprouting, or showing signs of mold.
