Ingredients
Method
Cook over medium heat stirring frequently until shallots and garlic are golden brown and oil is no longer bubbling, about 5-10 minutes depending on the oil temperature. Tip: To avoid burning the shallots and garlic you can use a lower heat – crisping the shallots and garlic will just take a little longer. Using a slotted spoon remove shallots and garlic and transfer to a heat proof bowl. Heat the oil to about 300°F-350°F, use a thermometer to check this temperature. Pour hot oil over chili and spice mixture. Stir well to combine. Let cool to room temperature then stir in the crispy shallots and garlic.
