Ruminations Shallots and scallions and chives, oh my! by Joseph Gresser Everyone cooks with onions, and most are familiar with garlic and leeks. But there are other alliums worth getting to know. Chief among them are shallots, scallions, and chives. You might not need them every day, but they are handy niche vegetables. When you need them, nothing else will do. The slender stalks of chives cut into very short sections are perfect for adding to the sour cream topping for a baked potato, or mixed with cream cheese to make an ideal cushion between lox and a bagel. (This is technically known as a schmear.) Chives have enough onion flavor to make themselves known but, used in moderation, don’t overpower the dish they accompany. They can be grown easily indoors or out. Find a started plant and either put it in your kitchen garden, or keep the potted plant inside. When you need chives, it is simple to cut pieces from the dense spray of slim shoots with a pair of scissors. During the summer, chive plants put out globe-shaped purple blossoms that, naturally enough, taste like onions. The blossoms can be used to dress up summer salads. Scallion stalks are fatter than chives, but grow as separate plants, not as a compact unit. It is possible to pick immature onion plants for use as shallots, but I think that’s not economical. Asian seed suppliers offer seeds for scallions that produce plants that get big, but never develop onion bulbs. The company I buy from calls them bunching onions. I’ve had good results from Ishikura Long Scallions, chives, and shallots (top to bottom) are a great addition to the culinary arsenal, adding flavor to a wide Winter, a variety that lasts through the winter. variety of dishes.
