Golden shallots make a beautiful garnish - they add a bit of crunch and a touch of sweetness.
Steps
1
Preparing the Shallots
Ingredients
1 cup shallots
To prepare the shallots, peel and thinly slice them into rings. Make sure all of the slices are of the same thickness so they cook evenly. Set aside.
2
Frying the Shallots
Ingredients
1 cup grapeseed oil
Place the oil into a small fry pan or pot and heat over medium heat. Once the oil approximately 300ºF (or 150ºC), fry the shallots.
Using a slotted spoon, lower the shallots into the oil. Fry them for about 1 to 2 minutes or so, just until they turn golden. Be careful of any splattering oil. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel to drain.
Fried shallots make a beautiful garnish atop of many dishes and soups. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
