What are some good uses for onions, shallots & garlic?
I have been making this Thai Red Curry Chicken from a recipe I stumbled upon. When I find a new entree which I like, I make it two or three more times to make it part of my small repertoire.
One thing I like about the recipe is all the alliums. I like chopping onions, shallots and garlic. Their pungency and bite and the eye-watering make it seem healthy and I love the tastes.
Do you have any allium-centric recipes?

I use shallots in salad dressing, lemon, oil, dijon mustard, salt, pepper.
I use shallots or onions in a really delicious risotto, I use either one. I think you would really like it based on what you wrote above. The recipe is to bake the risotto, but I usually do it top of stove. Here is the recipe. I don’t use all the cheese.
Also, onions sauteed with a little garlic and salt and serve with steak, chicken, or pork.
You can roast or grill a whole onion, cut it twice and put some oil and salt. Serve with lemon and salt.
Pickled onions to go on top of meats. Here’s a recipe. Slice super thin.
Oh, and onions in an omelette. Onion and cheese.
Also, Scallion pancakes, are you including scallions? Egg foo young too.

It’s also useful in cooking; put some in your pan or casserole today.
I make tzatziki often in the summer. I always have yogurt and garlic on hand, so when I see a good deal on cucumbers I pounce.

Lemon juice

Also I have guacamole all the time. At a particular grocery store they are aggressive about putting imperfect avocados on the scratch & den shelf, at 99 cents for a bag of four or five. I keep thinking they will get wise but it’s still happening.
Avocado
Garlic
Red onion diced
Lemon juice
Tomatoes diced if I have any
