Keep the heat lower and the oil at a solid simmer here the garlic and shallot will remain soft and just lightly golden in spots during this time. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, heat shallots, garlic, cinnamon stick, star anise pod, and oil until bubbly and boiling. Scant 1/4 cup of red pepper flakes (or replace half with aleppo pepper for less intense heat)ġ teaspoon Trader Joe’s mushroom umami powder Prep time: 25 minutes | Cook Time: 35 minutesĢ heads of garlic, broken into cloves, peeled, and thinly sliced What I’m saying is it’s friggin’ delicious and you should make it. Or spooned over pork and shrimp dumplings ( recipe coming soon!). Or tangled into spaghetti with shrimp and spinach. It’s also weirdly, ridiculously good drizzled inside a grilled cheese sandwich. I personally love this over a bowl of steamed broccoli and crispy pan-fried leftover rice topped with a runny egg and sesame seeds. They’ll continue cooking in the hot oil, so be sure to account for a few minutes of carryover cooking. The frizzled shallot and garlic go from delectable to disastrous in the blink of an eye, so I like to start the heat a bit lower for a set amount of time before turning it up and stirring almost constantly until they are about two shades lighter than your desired crispness. It makes quick work of the task, but using a very sharp knife works fine it will just take a bit longer. When slicing the shallot and garlic for the crisp, I use my mandoline.

Feel free to add a bit to the red pepper mixture before topping with the hot oil if you love it. I have a bit of star anise in my recipe ( and even still it is TOO MUCH for my delicate tastebuds), but I nixed the ginger because it tastes like soap to me.
I personally do not like star anise or ginger, which you will find in several other versions of this. I’m all for pretending I am a culinary queen and powering through intricate cheffy recipes, but I also don’t want to overcomplicate a relatively easy recipe that looks and tastes far more complicated than it really is. It also keeps in the fridge for a month or so. You can find countless iterations of this recipe online, and I mashed up a few of the simpler versions and I think think it tastes just as nuanced and complex as the fussier recipes. Not too time-consuming that you feel like you wasted valuable nap time on your feet in the kitchen, but also just involved enough to give you some quality zen time in the kitchen ( but, like, don’t zen out when slicing the veggies unless you want to go all Buster Bluth). Or you can make it yourself! It is one of my favorite weekend projects. You can find it in Asian markets and, if you’re not lucky enough to have H-Mart and Chinatown ten minutes away, the interwebs.

The chile crisp can be made up to 1 week ahead and stored, covered, in the fridge. Spoon the chile crisp over and scatter the basil on top. Place the tomatoes on a large platter and splash with the vinegar. Turn off the heat and stir in the fennel seeds and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring often, until the garlic is barely golden and crisp and the anchovies have melted away, 3 to 5 minutes. In a small skillet over medium heat, combine the olive oil, garlic, and anchovies. It’s still simple but steals the show.Ģ teaspoons fennel seeds, crushed or finely choppedĢ pounds heirloom tomatoes (any size will do), some sliced and some cut into wedges, or small tomatoes (such as Sungold and/or cherry), some halved and some left wholeĢ tablespoons sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar This isn’t a simple caprese that you whipped up on a summer afternoon. Anchovies and fennel seeds heighten the tomato’s flavor while bringing even more savory undertones. Topped with garlic-chile crisp and dressed with its delicious oil. What would a tomato salad look like if it deserved a recipe? Something like this.
If you have some herbs on hand, throw those in. Vinegar, olive oil, plenty of crunchy salt, and call it a day. The truth is, most tomato salads don’t need a recipe.
