With a delicate balance of sweer and sharp flavours, shallots are chef's secret for adding depth without overpowering other ingredients. Smaller and subtler than onions, their fine texture allows them to melt beautifully into sauces, dressings, and sautés. Whether finely diced in a vinaigrette or caramelised to perfection, shallots elevate everyday cooking into gourmet fare.
