CRISPY FRIED SHALLOTS

Steps:

• Heat the oil to 360°F.
• Separate the shallot slices into rings and place them in a medium bowl.
• Make certain the shallots are not moist, since otherwise they may splatter when they go into the oil.
• Sprinkle flour over the shallots and toss them lightly to coat evenly.
• Working with a small quantity, sprinkle the shallots over the oil and stir gently to keep them separated.
• Fry until golden brown, about 12-14 minutes.
• Remove with a slotted spoon, then put on paper towels to drain the oil.
• Sprinkle with salt while still warm.
• Continue frying the rest of the shallots, salting each batch while it is still warm.

CRISPY FRIED SHALLOTS

Steps:

• 1. In a small saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high until it registers 275°F on a deep-fry thermometer. Add the shallots and cook, stirring, until light golden brown, about 8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the shallots to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
• 2. Increase the heat to high and place a fine-mesh sieve over a heatproof bowl. When the oil registers 350°F on the deep-fry thermometer, add the once fried shallots and cook just until they are crispy and well-browned, about 1-2 seconds, watching carefully so the shallots don't burn.
• 3. Immediately pour the oil and shallots through the sieve to stop the cooking, then transfer to shallots to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Reserve the oil for another use. The shallots will keep, stored in an airtight container, for 1 day, but they're best the day they are made.

Steps:

• Set a fine-mesh strainer over a medium heatproof bowl. Thinly slice shallots crosswise into rings on a mandoline (they should be about the thickness of a dime).
• Place shallots in a medium saucepan and pour in oil to submerge. Set over medium-low heat and cook, stirring often with a fork to encourage rings to separate, until shallots are golden brown, 20-25 minutes. (Keep an eye on them; once they start to brown they'll darken fast).
• Pour shallots into strainer to drain, then transfer to paper towels. Season with salt and let cool. Reserve shallot oil for another use.
• Do Ahead: Shallots can be fried 5 days ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.
