Directions

1. Heat oil to medium for 2 minutes.
2. Add shallots, garlic, and ginger and turn heat to medium-low — keep a close eye and adjust the heat accordingly; stir frequently.
3. Sauté for approximately 15 minutes until color begins to change to a deep caramel. If it is getting too dark, remove from heat before it burns, add a splash of water, turn it down and return to burner.
4. Turn heat to low, add Longtail Sunset Spice Blend, sauté for 5 minutes or until fragrant.
5. Use immediately or cool and store in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze for future use.
