Fried Shallots


MAKES ABOUT 2 CUPS


1 pound shallots, sliced ⅛ inch thick, preferably on a
mandoline
2 cups canola oil
Kosher salt



  1. Line a rimmed baking sheet with 6 layers of paper
    towels. Combine the shallots and oil in a wok or medium
    nonstick saucepan; the shallots should barely stick up
    above the oil. Place over high heat and cook, stirring
    frequently, until the shallots are completely soft, about 20
    minutes. Then continue to cook, stirring constantly, until
    the shallots are light golden brown, about 8 minutes.
