A shallot is a small, bulb-forming allium with papery copper skin and clustered cloves. Its flavor is mild and sweet with a hint of garlic, turning silky when sweated. Commonly minced for vinaigrettes, sautéed for pan sauces, and quick-pickled; sold as individual bulbs and larger banana shallots.\n\nOriginating in Southwest and Central Asia, shallots spread through the Middle East into Europe and are staples in French and Southeast Asian cuisines. They are grown widely and cured after harvest for storage and shipping.
