| shallot
Plural: shallots
Language: English
Description: The shallot is a relative of the onion but with a sweeter flavour and rather milder. Shallots, like garlic, grow in heads which are then separated out into cloves. They are often covered with a golden through to red onion-paper type skin, or in the case of the griselle shallot, pinkish grey.
