Shallots are part of the allium family, also known as the onion family. Of all the onions, shallots are among the highest in phytonutrients. An easy way to incorporate more of them into your meals is to pickle them. You can make them the night before or in the morning before you want to serve them. Or, make them on a rainy day so that you’ll always have them on hand to put on salads, tacos, burgers, and wraps.
