Crspy Fried Shallots
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 1 large shallot sliced into rings
- ⅓ cup heavy cream
- ⅓ cup flour small shallow
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- Pinch black pepper
- 3 cups avocado oil for frying
Instructions
- Add the sliced shallots to a bowl. Pour the cream over the shallots. Let soak for 10 minutes.
- Add the flour, salt, and pepper to a shallow bowl. Mix well.
- Using a fork or tongs, lift the shallots from the cream, shake off any excess, and drop them in the flour.
- Toss the shallots in the flour to fully coat them.
- Add the avocado oil to a medium-sized saucepan and heat over medium-high. Once the avocado oil has reached 250°F- 350°F, lift the shallots from the flour, shake off any excess, and drop them into the oil. Fry the shallots until golden brown, then transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet.
If you do not have a kitchen thermometer, test the oil with a small shallot before adding the rest. The oil should bubble around the shallot and should not take more than 20 seconds to turn golden brown.
