Shallots

In Iran, shallots hold a significant place in the country's culinary and cultural traditions.
Shallots are small onions that have brown skin and a purple texture and consist of two or more separate cloves. Shallot has a spicy and strong taste like garlic, its layers are thin and therefore suitable for chopping very finely. This onion is used for salad, sauce, baking. Shallots are also used in cooking, but they should never be fried because they become bitter.

This onion has a delicious and spicy taste, but after eating it, the mouth smells bad. You can finely chop this onion and put it in vinegar until it ripens like a pickle.
