Crispy Shallots
Crispy Shallots are thinly sliced rings cooked gently in olive oil until golden and crisp. This method yields tender edges with a slight caramelization and reduces the oil used compared to deep frying. These shallots add a toasted onion flavor and crunchy texture that complements various dishes as a garnish or ingredient.
