Onions, Shallots, Scallions & Leeks: All About Alliums

What's on the Menu:

• Scallion Noodles
• Stir-Fried Shrimp with Shallots and Chilies
• Japanese-Style Salt-Pickled Radishes and Onions

The allium family has many essential members: onions of all varieties, shallots, leeks, garlic, scallions and chives, to name a few. It’s all too easy to think of alliums as mere supporting players, but we want to change that. Join Milk Street’s Matthew Card and April Dodd for a class where you’ll learn recipes and techniques that make alliums anything but common. We’ll make three full recipes together, each chosen to highlight qualities about the allium featured. We’ll make Japanese-Style Salt-Pickled Radish and Red Onion, Stir-Fried Turmeric Shrimp with Shallots and Chilies, and Scallion Noodles. As we cook, we’ll talk about all the major alliums we work with, their different flavor profiles, which ingredients they pair with best, the knife skills choices that will transform your dishes for the better—knife skills matter a lot with alliums—and our No. 1 tip to reduce how much onions make you cry.
