Ingredients
- 4-5 shallots thinly sliced into rings
- 1/4 cup olive oil or more as needed
Instructions
- Slice the shallots into thin rings using a knife or mandoline.
- Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Saute the shallot rings for about 5 minutes. Then, reduce the heat to low and continue to cook for another 3 to 4 minutes. Or until they're golden.
- Remove them from the pan to a paper towel lined plate or use right away for garnishing.

Notes
- Many recipe deep fry shallots (in a lot more oil) to make them crispy and evenly golden, but I'm trying to minimize oil waste with this recipe. To make sure they cook evenly, just continue to toss them around in the oil.
- To store: place them in an airtight container in room temperature for up to 4 days.
