6-8Shallots, halved and thinly sliced, or small white onions
400mlPeanut Oil
1teaspoonSweet Smoked Paprika
1teaspoonSea Salt, coarse
Instructions
Put a medium-large saucepan on medium heat and immediately add the shallots and oil. While stirring frequently cook until the shallots get a light golden colour.
With a slotted spoon remove the shallots and place in a metal strainer to drain for a minute. Then put them on 1 lined dish with 2-3 layers of kitchen towel to absorb the extra oil. After few seconds remove the top towel to continue absorbing and remain crispy. Repeat for the remaining layers of kitchen towels and season with paprika and salt.
Allow to cool and you can store in sterilized airtight glass containers for more than 2 months.
If you are building a burger first spread some mushrooms on the bottom of the burger bun halves, top with burger patties, then spoon some Mornay sauce on top and finally sprinkle the fried shallots all over, close hamburgers, and serve immediately.
