Fried shallots are a great topping for all sorts of dishes. The first step is to slice the shallots very thin and add them to a saucepan.

Next, pour oil over the shallots to cover. Turn up the heat to medium and let the oil get hot and start to simmer. You’ll start to hear the sizzle of the shallots and they will start to turn golden brown. Watch carefully, as you want to take them off the heat before they get too dark. When they turn golden, turn off the  heat and pour the contents through a strainer over a bowl. Move the shallots to a plate lined with some paper towel and season with salt. Allow to cool before serving.
