CRISPY FRIED SHALLOTS



Crispy Fried Shallots image

Crispy fried shallots are an essential condiment in Vietnam. They turn up in soups and on salads, sprinkled onto dumplings as a garnish, and minced and added to meatballs. Crispy, sweet, and salty, they are indispensible. You may want to make double batches, as people have a hard time resisting the urge to snack on them.

Yield Makes 1 cup fried shallots

Number Of Ingredients 2

2 cups thinly sliced shallots (about 4 large shallots)
2 cups canola oil

Steps:

  • 1. In a small saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high until it registers 275°F on a deep-fry thermometer. Add the shallots and cook, stirring, until light golden brown, about 8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the shallots to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • 2. Increase the heat to high and place a fine-mesh sieve over a heatproof bowl. When the oil registers 350°F on the deep-fry thermometer, add the once fried shallots and cook just until they are crispy and well-browned, about 1-2 seconds, watching carefully so the shallots don't burn.
  • 3. Immediately pour the oil and shallots through the sieve to stop the cooking, then transfer to shallots to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Reserve the oil for another use. The shallots will keep, stored in an airtight container, for 1 day, but they're best the day they are made.

These crispy shallot slices are fantastic sprinkled over chops and burgers, and just as good on salads or steamed vegetables. The trick is to start in cold oil and cook them slowly. They may be made several hours ahead, or even the day before. The flavorful cooking oil may be saved and used for other recipes.

CRISPY SHALLOTS AND GARLIC



Crispy Shallots and Garlic image

This gently-fried topping takes a little patience, but leaves you with sweet, aromatic, crunchy bits that will elevate salads, sandwiches, pasta or noodles. And the oil you fry it in also takes on terrific flavor - also great for drizzling on most anything you can think of.

Categories     vegetables

Time 1h

Yield 1 1/2 cups fried shallots, plus 2 cups infused oil

Number Of Ingredients 4

8 medium shallots (1/2 pound), sliced 1/8-inch thick on a mandoline
2 cups vegetable oil
12 cloves garlic, sliced like the shallots
Salt

Steps:

  • Add the shallots and oil to a large saucepan. Cook over high heat, stirring occasionally, until the oil bubbles intensely, about 7 minutes; turn heat to medium-low to maintain a spirited simmer. 6 minutes later, add the garlic. Cook, stirring often, and more frequently as it darkens, until the shallots turn from sticky to fluffy and medium golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes later.
  • Strain, keeping the oil, and drain the shallots and garlic in one layer on a paper-towel-lined baking sheet. Season with salt, and let cool until crisp. Fried chips will hold in an airtight container for 3 days, or for 2 months in the refrigerator. The oil, which is great for dressings or drizzling, holds for 2 months in the refrigerator.

SPAGHETTI AGLIO E OLIO E FRIED SHALLOT



Spaghetti Aglio e Olio e Fried Shallot image

Adding homemade or store-bought fried shallots to classic garlic spaghetti gives it extra caramelized sweetness and depth of flavor, along with crunch. Add the shallots in two stages so that some of them soften and give their flavor to the sauce, and the rest remain crispy. Cooking the spaghetti in a relatively small amount of water concentrates its starch, making it easier to form a creamy, emulsified sauce. If you can't have your pasta without cheese, feel free to grate some Parm or pecorino on top at the table.

Categories     pastas, main course

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup store-bought or homemade fried shallots (see Tip)
Kosher salt
6 medium garlic cloves
1 pound dried spaghetti (see Tip)
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Pinch of red-pepper flakes
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley leaves (optional)
1 tablespoon minced fresh chives (optional)

Steps:

  • If using homemade shallots, skip to Step 2. If using store-bought shallots, toast them in a dry 12-inch skillet over medium heat until deep caramel brown and aromatic, about 3 minutes. Season generously with salt and transfer to a bowl.
  • Smash the garlic cloves with the side of a knife and roughly mince. Set aside. Add a couple of inches of water and a large pinch of salt to the skillet, and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until just shy of al dente (about a minute less than the package directions).
  • Meanwhile, combine ¼ cup oil, the minced garlic, red-pepper flakes and a large pinch of salt in a large saucepan or skillet. Heat, stirring frequently, over medium-low until the garlic is very aromatic and just starting to turn pale gold in parts, about 5 minutes. It should maintain a very gentle sizzle the whole time it is cooking (adjust heat as necessary). When the garlic is done, shut off the heat, then, using a ladle or spoon, add a large splash of the pasta water to the pan with oil to halt the cooking. Add half the toasted shallots and stir.
  • When the pasta is just shy of al dente, using tongs, transfer it to the pan with the garlic oil, allowing any liquid that clings to it to come along; reserve a bit of the pasta water. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Return the pan with the pasta and garlic oil to high heat, and cook, stirring and tossing constantly, until a creamy, emulsified sauce coats the pasta. (If the sauce looks watery, continue tossing and cooking. If it looks broken and oily, add some more pasta water a few tablespoons at a time and continue cooking until it emulsifies.) Stir in the parsley and chives (if using), season to taste with more salt (it can take quite a bit of salt), transfer to a serving bowl, sprinkle with reserved toasted fried shallots and serve.

Tips:

  • Use a neutral-flavored oil with a high smoke point, such as grapeseed or vegetable oil.
  • Slice the shallots thinly and evenly so that they cook evenly.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan when frying the shallots. This will cause them to steam instead of fry and will result in a soggy texture.
  • Fry the shallots in batches if necessary.
  • Once the shallots are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the oil and drain them on paper towels.
  • Season the shallots with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.

Conclusion:

Crispy fried shallots are a versatile ingredient that can be used to add flavor and texture to a variety of dishes. They can be used as a garnish, topping, or ingredient in salads, soups, stir-fries, and curries. Crispy fried shallots are also a popular snack food and can be enjoyed on their own.
