crab and grapefruit salad with fried shallots
Fried Shallots
  • 1 cup peanut or canola oil
  • 4 shallots, peeled, halved and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • Kosher salt to taste

Dressing
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon grapefruit juice
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 2 teaspoons chopped jalapeno
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 4 endives, rinsed
  • 2 small, pink grapefruit, segmented
  • 1 pound crab meat
  • 1/4 cup cilantro

Line a plate with paper towels and place it nearby. To make the fried shallots, heat the peanut oil in a pan until almost smoking. Toss the shallots in the flour, dust off well and add to the oil in batches as necessary to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 5 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to the paper towel-lined plate. Sprinkle with salt and set aside

To make the dressing, add the oil to a bowl and whisk in the lime juice, grapefruit juice, fish sauce, chopped jalapeno and sugar.

Slice the endives in half lengthwise, core and slice into long wide slivers. Add them to a large serving bowl, along with the grapefruit, crab and cilantro. Toss gently with the dressing. Top with the friend shallots and server.
