Heat Extra Virgin Olive Oil in a sauté pan on high.
Test the oil by dropping it in a small shallot chip. If the oil sizzles around it, it's ready.
Once the oil reaches the 'fizzle point,' add all the shallots and spread salt evenly.
Quickly stir shallots, coating them in the hot oil, and reduce heat to medium. Be cautious not to let the oil burn.
Once you see the onions stop 'steaming,' indicating water release, reduce heat to very low and simmer for 45 minutes to an hour. Stir occasionally until the shallots turn golden.
Once you achieve the perfect color and taste to ensure bitterness is gone, it's time to emulsify.
Transfer the contents from the pan into a blender and whip for 30 seconds to a minute until the color lightens slightly, and air permeates the mixture. Aim for a whipped puree consistency, like a flowing sauce.
