Crispy Fried Shallots

Garnish for recipe #108333 the mary milliken & sue feniger recipe.

Heat the oil to 360f.

Separate the shallot slices into rings and place them in a medium bowl.

Make certain the shallots are not moist , since otherwise they may splatter when they go into the oil.

Sprinkle flour over the shallots and toss them lightly to coat evenly.

Working with a small quantity , sprinkle the shallots over the oil and stir gently to keep them separated.

Fry until golden brown , about 12-14 minutes.

Remove with a slotted spoon , then put on paper towels to drain the oil.

Sprinkle with salt while still warm.

Continue frying the rest of the shallots , salting each batch while it is still warm.

Use as a garnish for spiced carrot soup , recipe #108333.
