Like fried shallots, crispy leeks are a wonderful way to add a bit of texture to a dish.
Crispy Leeks
One bunch leeks, white parts only, cut into circles
One cup Canola Oil
Pinch Salt
Heat the oil to a high heat, add leeks and fry until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a napkin lined plate. Add a sprinkle of salt and serve immediately.
Fried Shallots are the perfect way to add crunch to dishes. They can be a bit messy to make (and take more time) but are generally worth it. You can also buy fried shallots at Asian markets.
One shallot, thinly sliced
Canola Oil (can use olive oil but Canola or Safflower oil will be best for frying)
A small handful of flour
Salt
Heat about a centimeter of oil to a medium heat heat (360 degrees).Slice shallots, either into long slices or rings, sprinkle and toss them with flour and then insert into the oil. Fry until golden brown. Remove and lightly salt.
