You never actually need shallots. They’re the kitchen equivalent of an Instagram filter—nice, but not essential. Use yellow onion + rinse trick for everyday cooking, red onion for raw dishes, and scallion-garlic for stir-fries. Your meal will not file a complaint.
Final joke: Why did the shallot go to therapy? Because it had too many layers. You’re welcome. Now go cook something delicious and stop worrying about missing one fancy bulb.
