shallot
Delicate cooking bulb
A shallot is a small, mild-flavored bulb in the onion family, often preferred in French cooking for its delicate taste.
Shallots grow in clusters like garlic but resemble small onions, with papery copper or gray skin.
They're commonly minced for vinaigrettes, sauces, and dishes where raw onion would be too harsh: The recipe calls for two shallots, finely diced.
