Ingredients

  • 3 shallots thinly sliced horizontally or lenghwise 1/8" thick

  2. Add sliced shallots and cook until golden in color, stir frequently and watch continuously.
  3. Remove the shallots when almost all are golden. *The hot oil will continue to cook the shallots even after they are removed from the oil.
