What are Shallots?
Shallots, known locally as sibuyas Tagalog, lasona, or native red onions, are a member of the allium family. Sibuyas Tagalog are smaller in size compared to Western and European shallots, but both have the same papery, pink-purple peel. They have a delicate, sweet, and milder onion flavor.
Tartar sauce often gets paired with fried fish, but it works perfectly on anything that can use some acidity. Pair it with other fried meats like chicken and porkchops. Use it as a dip for calamares, onion rings, and French fries. Spread it on burgers and sandwiches, or toss with roasted vegetables.
