About Shallots, raw
Shallots sit between onion and garlic in character - more refined than yellow onion, less pungent than garlic, with a faint sweetness that makes them particularly useful raw. The carbohydrate content is moderate, fiber is decent, and the overall profile is similar to other alliums. Minced into vinaigrettes, they emulsify better than coarser onion. Sliced thin and quick-fried, they crisp into a deeply savory garnish. Their mild bite mellows to almost nothing during slow cooking.
