In recipes I have, a lot of oil is usually used such that It was more of 'deep frying'.
I thought that was necessary to get the omena crunchy. I have since realized you can vastly reduce the oil n extend cooking time to get the same crunch

Steps

  1. 1

    Sort the Omena then Wash with Hot water. Instead of pouring out the water when done, use a slotted spoon to pick out the omena. Fine dust n sand will remain in the water.

    Once their essence has infused into the oil n onion, add your omena. Reduce heat and begin to stir.

  5. 5

    Keep stirring. If the oil reduces completely before omena is dry, you can add a tablespoon or two. NOTE that because of the garlic, the omena might stick onto the pan. Just carefully scrap off from the bottom.

  6. 6

    Keep stirring until dry to your taste. I like mine super crunchy. So the whole stirring business takes up to 20mins. You may need more if your omena was very fresh n therefore, wetter.

  7. 7

    Let cool, garnish n serve.
