Preparation

Salad Preparation

1. Prepare the Baby Gem

Rinse the Baby Gem lettuce heads under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

2. Dress the Lettuce

In a large salad bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Toss the Baby Gem lettuce in the dressing until evenly coated.

Crispy Shallots Preparation

3. Slice the Shallots

Peel and thinly slice the shallots into rings.

4. Prepare the Flour

Place the flour in a shallow bowl. Add a teaspoon of salt and mix well.

5. Coat the Shallots

Dredge the sliced shallots in the seasoned flour, ensuring they are evenly coated. Shake off any excess flour.

6. Heat the Oil

In a deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

7. Fry the Shallots

Carefully add the coated shallots to the hot oil in batches. Fry until they turn golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes.

8. Drain and Cool

Using a slotted spoon, remove the crispy shallots from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Season with a pinch of salt.
