Why This Recipe Works
Fried shallots deliver bursts of crunch and savory flavor, but they're easy to overcook and require constant stirring. To make the method foolproof and more hands-off, we fried three thinly sliced shallots in ½ cup of vegetable oil in a bowl in the microwave in decreasing increments of time (first 5 minutes, then 2 minutes, then 30 seconds), stirring them between increments.
