About Shallots, raw
The shallot (Allium cepa var. aggregatum) is a small, refined member of the onion family that grows in clusters of cloves like garlic, wrapped in coppery-purple skin, with a mild, sweet, delicate flavor. More subtle and complex than a regular onion, it offers a gentle, almost garlicky sweetness that has made it a favorite in French and fine-dining kitchens. Shallots are low in calories and provide fiber, vitamin B6, manganese, antioxidants, and the beneficial sulfur compounds common to all alliums.
They are the secret to a classic French vinaigrette and to mignonette sauce, finely minced raw into dressings, and gently softened in butter to build a savory base for pan sauces and countless dishes, while thinly sliced and fried they become the crisp, golden shallots that top salads and Southeast Asian noodles. Choose firm bulbs that feel heavy for their size with dry, papery skin and no green sprouts, and store shallots in a cool, dry, well-ventilated spot away from potatoes, where they keep for weeks.
