Don't worry; we aren't giving you a bunch of hay to put on your burgers… you aren't the famous Mr. Ed! “Haystack” is basically talking about one thing: onions (or shallots), onions (or shallots), and onions (or shallots), piled up deliciously on a beautiful burger. We've battered and fried a bunch of sharp shallots, just for that perfect crunchy topping. Save the hay for horses; save this burger for yourself.

Bake the Fries

Prepare Ingredients and Heat Oil

Peel and thinly slice shallot.Place a medium non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 4 tsp. olive oil. Let heat, 5 minutes.While oil heats, combine tempura mix and 3 Tbsp. water in a mixing bowl and stir until a thin batter forms, like a pancake batter. If too thick, add additional water, 1 Tbsp. at a time, until desired consistency is reached. -
Fry the Shallot
Line a plate with a paper towel.
Add shallot to mixing bowl with tempura batter and stir until coated. Keep shallot intact as much as possible.Test oil temperature by adding a pinch of batter to it. It should sizzle gently. If it browns immediately, turn heat down and let oil cool. If it doesn't brown, increase heat.Working in batches, transfer shallot to hot oil, allowing excess batter to drip off. Cook until golden brown, 1-2 minutes per side.Remove shallot to towel-lined plate. Repeat with remaining shallot, then remove from burner. -
