4 servings
For the shallots
- 4 large shallots (about 10 oz total), peeled
- 1 cup whole milk
Chef's tipUse the same amount. Whole milk is richer, so a lower-fat milk will make the dish a little less creamy. This matters most in baking and custards, where the extra fat adds richness.
For the dredge
- 1 cup rice flour
- ½ cup tapioca starch
- 1 tsp fine sea salt
- ½ tsp dried thyme
For frying
- 4 cups canola oil or sunflower oil, for frying
Chef's tipAvocado oil is neutral and handles high heat, making it a good all-purpose swap.
For serving
- flaky sea salt, for finishing (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Slice the shallots crosswise into 1/4-inch rings and separate the rings with your fingers. Place them in a shallow bowl, pour the milk over them, and let them soak for 10 minutes.
- 2
While the shallots soak, whisk together the rice flour, tapioca starch, fine sea salt, and dried thyme in a separate shallow bowl or pie plate until evenly combined.
