Fried Shallots

I absolutely love shallots (perhaps my favorite holiday dish is shallots in red wine from Roger Verge’s Vegetables), but I’ve never thought to make fried shallots to add a little crispy punch and texture to Vietnamese food, a quick salad, a burger, or heck, just on their own. Garnishes are something I so often forget when putting a meal together, but they often take the dish to the next level. Yum!
