Related to Shallot
Onion
Shallots have more garlic notes and less harshness than onion. The garlic bridges that gap. Mince finely so the texture matches; cook gently so the onion doesn't dominate. See our Onion converter.
Spring Onion
Best for raw uses like dressings and salsas. Spring onions are milder and fresher than shallot; skip the dark green tops or you'll lose the shallot character. See our Spring Onion converter.
