This is your emergency exit. Grab one small yellow onion. Chop it fine. Real fine. Like confetti.
Now, add a tiny pinch of minced garlic. Use half a clove. That’s it. You’ve just recreated the shallot vibe.
Why does it work? The onion gives the base. The garlic adds that subtle zing. It’s a culinary magic trick with zero wand required.
