This is a shallot. It’s one of my favorite ingredients. 

It’s in the garlic, scape, and leek family, and it’s just sublime.

However, shallots can be pretty spicy.

Quickly pickling them takes their harsh bite away, and allows shallots to not overtake the entire dish.

Cut your shallot in half, take the skin off, and slice into rings.

Place the shallots in a bowl, and pour in some red wine vinegar.

You can use any vinegar here — I prefer red wine vinegar.

Cucumbers work well with white vinegar or apple cider vinegar.

Onions, I prefer to use red wine vinegar.
