Ingredients
- 2 large shallots, about 1 cup sliced
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- kosher salt
Instructions
- Slice the shallots in half lengthwise and then cut them into 1/8 inch slices. (You will have a pile of half rings.)
- Combine the shallots with the oil in a medium saucepan and turn the burner to medium. Once they begin to bubble, about 5 minutes, reduce the heat to medium low. Fry the shallots, stirring occasionally for 18 minutes. Then watch them more carefully, stirring frequently, until they are golden brown, 2-3 minutes more.
- Scoop the shallots out of the oil into a paper towel lined plate and sprinkle them with kosher salt to taste.
- Let the oil cool, then you can discard it or save it for salads and sautes.
Notes
- If you are making my Italian Green Bean Salad, save the oil. You will use some of the oil in the dressing.
- Since I keep and use the oil, I prefer to use an extra virgin olive oil.
- The recipe can be doubled. However, I have found that the doubled recipe takes about twice the time when I keep the heat at medium low. Note that I'm not completely certain of the timing since I didn't note it down, but it definitely took a lot longer than this single recipe.
