@thechez5 comment, here: Chili Crisp Recommendations - #134 by thechez5 - specifically the photo of the jar of fried shallots, reminded me of this Serious Eats piece:
and recipe:
(and also how much I dislike the new SE, too).
Anyway, has anyone tried this?
I have. Works great.
I dislike the new format as well. There is a bug with their website right now. When you scroll past the commentary to the recipe the page goes blank. It does this on my MacBook, but not on my phone.
Both Serious Eats and Roadfood seem to have been purchased by conglomerates and both pretty much suck now. Roadfood was such a resource for road trips; now its useless.
