Categories     side-dish

Time 35m

Yield about 4 to 6 side dish serving

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 large Spanish onions, sliced into 1/2-inch-thick pieces
Whole milk, as needed
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 teaspoons fine salt, plus more for sprinkling
2 teaspoons chili powder (optional)
1 teaspoon ground cumin (optional)
2 lager-style beers (12-ounces each)
Vegetable oil for deep frying

Steps:

  • Put the onions in a large bowl and cover with milk. Let soak for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, using a fine-sieve over a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, 2 teaspoons salt, chili powder, and cumin, if using. Stir in the beer until a smooth batter is formed. Set aside.
  • Drain the onions and transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Blot the onions with paper towels until dry.
  • In a large, wide heavy-bottomed pot, pour in the oil to a depth of about 2 inches. Place over medium heat and heat to 400 degrees F. (The oil must be heated to 400 degrees F. since the temperature drops oil to about 375 degrees F. when the onions are added.)
  • Working in batches, transfer about 8 to 10 of the onions to the batter and mix to coat well. Using tongs, pull several of the onions out of the batter, and let any excess batter fall back into the bowl. Carefully add to the oil and fry, flipping once, until golden brown and crispy, about 3 1/2 minutes per batch. Using the tongs, transfer to a dry paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain. Sprinkle with salt to taste. Repeat with the remaining onions. Serve immediately.

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

Gorgonzola butter
2 heads of garlic, top 3/4 inch cut off to expose cloves
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
1/3 cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese (about 2 ounces)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Onion rings
3 cups buttermilk
2 sweet onions (such as Vidalia or Walla Walla), thinly sliced into rounds, then separated into rings
3 cups unbleached all purpose flour
3 tablespoons onion powder
3 tablespoons garlic powder
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons ground black pepper
4 cups canola oil (for frying)
Steaks
6 10- to 12-ounce rib-eye steaks
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • For gorgonzola butter:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Place garlic on piece of foil; drizzle with olive oil. Enclose garlic in foil. Bake until garlic is very soft, about 1 hour. Cool. Squeeze garlic cloves out from papery skins into medium bowl; mash garlic with fork. Mix in butter, cheese, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer Gorgonzola butter to sheet of plastic wrap. Using plastic wrap as aid, form butter into 1 1/4-inch-diameter log, wrapping plastic tightly around butter. Chill until firm. (Can be made 2 days ahead; keep chilled.) Cut into 1/2-inch-thick rounds.
  • For onion rings:
  • Pour buttermilk into large bowl. Add onion rings; toss to coat. Let stand 1 hour, tossing occasionally. Mix flour, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in another large bowl.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Pour enough oil into heavy large skillet to reach depth of 3 inches. Heat over medium-high heat to 350°F. Working with a few onion rings at a time, shake off excess buttermilk, then turn onion rings in flour mixture to coat. Fry onion rings until deep golden brown, adjusting heat as necessary for each batch to maintain temperature at 350°F, about 2 minutes. Transfer onion rings to paper towels to drain, then place on baking sheet and keep warm in oven while frying remaining onion rings.
  • For steaks:
  • Brush steaks with olive oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Heat 2 large nonstick skillets over medium-high heat. Add 3 steaks to each skillet and cook to desired doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Serve with Gorgonzola butter and onion rings.

Wedge Salad with Homemade Ranch and Crispy Onion Rings image

Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Categories     side-dish

Time 55m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 26

1 head iceberg lettuce
8 radishes, thinly sliced
10 cherry tomatoes, halved
Homemade Ranch Dressing (see recipe below)
1/2 cup blue cheese, crumbled
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
Crispy Onion Rings (see recipe below)
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried chives
1/2 teaspoon dried dill
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 large onion
2 cups water
1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
Kosher salt
11/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 large egg whites
Non-stick cooking spray

Steps:

  • Remove any wilted leaves from the outside of the iceberg lettuce. Remove the core and slice the head of lettuce in half from top to bottom. Cut each half into 3 wedges.
  • Arrange 6 wedges on a platter. Top each wedge with sliced radishes and halved cherry tomatoes. Drizzle about 1/2 cup of dressing all over the lettuce and veggies. Top with the blue cheese and chives. Place baked onion rings on top. Serve with extra dressing on the side.
  • Add the mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar, garlic powder, chives, dill, parsley, onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper to a high-powered blender and blend until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute. Transfer the dressing to a bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve. Dressing can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Slice the onion into 1-inch-thick rings. Separate the rings and save the small inner rings for another use. Add the large rings to a bowl and cover with the water. Let the onions sit while you prepare the dredging stations.
  • Add the flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a medium shallow bowl and whisk to combine. Add the panko, garlic powder, onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper to a second shallow bowl and whisk to combine. Add the egg whites to a third shallow bowl and whisk vigorously until they are frothy and foamy, but not holding peaks.
  • Remove each onion ring from the water, shaking off any excess, and place immediately into the flour mixture, making sure to toss until it's fully coated. Next, dip the onion ring into the egg white mixture, flipping to coat thoroughly. Shake off any excess egg white and transfer the onion ring to the panko mixture, gently pressing in the breadcrumbs to adhere. Place the onion ring on the prepared baking sheet and continue the process with the rest of your onion rings.
  • Generously spray the onion rings with non-stick cooking spray. Flip the onion rings and generously spray the other side. Bake until golden brown and crisp, flipping halfway through, about 20 minutes.

CRISPY OVEN BAKED ONION RINGS



Crispy Oven Baked Onion Rings image

I am trying to stay healthy, but sometimes you like a burger and some onion rings, right?!?! Well, here's what I came up with for the onion rings. I have used all panko bread crumbs when I didn't have any baked potato chips, and all baked potato chips when I felt naughty, and they are all good. I usually just make this recipe for the 2 of us, and we don't have many leftover if any.....and my husband doesn't normally order rings when we are out! Let me know which way you like best :)

Provided by CookingBlues

Categories     Onions

Time 50m

Yield 14 rings, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

canola oil cooking spray
2 cups breadcrumbs, panko
2 cups baked potato chips, plain
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1 cup low-fat buttermilk
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 -2 large vidalia onion, peeled

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy clean-up and spray it slightly with oil and set aside.
  • Place potato chips and panko bread crumbs in the bowl of a food processor and process into crumbs, about 20 seconds. Transfer to a shallow bowl, add cayenne, and set aside.
  • In another bowl, combine buttermilk, 2 tablespoons of flour, salt and pepper and set aside.
  • Slice onions into 1/2-inch circles and separate into rings, keeping only large, whole rings (reserve rest of onions for other uses). You should come out with about 12 to 14 rings.
  • Place the remaining flour in a sealable plastic bag, then add onions, and shake to coat.
  • Dip onions 1 at a time into the buttermilk mixture, then dip into potato chip mixture and place on baking sheet. NOTE: For those having problems with the coating not sticking, the secret is LET THEM REST! Don't just throw them in the oven from the coating! Give them at least 5-10 minutes to soak in all that good coating you just put on and they'll stick just fine.
  • Spray canola oil evenly over rings and bake for 20 minutes, or until coating is crisp. Season with salt, to taste, and serve immediately.

AMAZING CRISPY FRIED ONION RINGS



Amazing Crispy Fried Onion Rings image

These onion rings are perfectly coated by the batter; not overly thick batter that hides the taste of the onions. I prefer to slice regular onions thin so that the result is a fine, crisp onion ring. I challenge you to try this one out on friends using your favorite recipe. I think it is fantastic and hope you will, too.

Provided by DeSouter

Categories     Onions

Time 15m

1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/3 cup milk (or more if desired or necessary)

Steps:

  • In a 3 quart pot, heat about 3-4 inches of vegetable oil on medium to medium high heat.
  • Combine all dry ingredients in a medium sized bowl and mix in milk with a whisk, adding more milk if needed until mixture is the consistency is like a thin-medium pancake batter.
  • Cut onions into thin rings and toss in batter.
  • Place a single ring into the oil to test for appropriate heat. Onion ring should sizzle and start to brown immediately.
  • Place small batches of onion rings into the oil and when they turn dark golden brown on one side, flip them over to the othe side with a slotted spoon or carving fork.
  • Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat until all onions are done. (Add a bit more milk to the batter if it appears that the last batch isn't getting coated enough.).
  • I like to salt the cooked onion rings, but that is optional.

Categories     Onions

Time 25m

Yield 20-30 Rings, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 medium onions
1/2 cup flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
shake paprika
shake seasoning salt
1/2 cup water

Steps:

  • Mix flour, baking powder, paprika, seasoning salt and water. Stir until smooth.
  • Slice onions 1/8-1/4" inch thick and seperate into rings.
  • Drop onions into batter in bowl and stir gently with a spoon. This saves time, over dipping each ring separately into batter. Make sure all onion rings are coated with batter.
  • Using a fork, drop one onion ring into fat to test temperature. Your onion ring should not cook too quickly or turn dark. If necessary, reduce temperature. You want your fried onion rings to puff up and turn golden brown, not overcook. If they over cook they will taste bitter.
  • When fat is ready, gently drop onion rings into pot or place in fryer basket and lower into fryer.
  • When onions rings are golden, using a slotted spoon lift into a metal strainer to drain. If using a fryer, simply lift the basket and allow your onion rings to drain.

1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper {optional}
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
2 cups sweetened coconut flakes

Steps:

  • Fill a pot with 2 inches of oil. Set to medium heat. Ideally you want your oil to be between 285 - 300*F. While oil is heating, slice onions and set aside. In a bowl mix cornstarch, salt, pepper & cayenne pepper. Mix well. Set aside. In another bowl mix eggs & milk together. Set aside. In a separate bowl add coconut flakes. Set a cooling rack over a cookie sheet and set aside. Take onion rings and dip into cornstarch mixture then into egg and set on drying rack. Do this to all onion rings {you may need to work in batches}. Take dipped onion ring and dip again in the cornstarch mixture and again in the egg. Set again on the drying rack. Do 3 or 4 more and then take the first one and dip into coconut. Coat as well as you can. Set onto a plate. Repeat to all onion rings. Oil should be hot at this point. If it is above 300*F remove from heat and allow it to cool down. If oil is too hot it will burn your coconut before your onion cooks. Place onion rings into oil one at a time making sure to not over crowd your pot. Cook for approximately 2 - 3 minutes per side. Coconut should be golden but not burned. Allow to cook for a minute then devour!

A guilty pleasure. I usually only make half the recipe now because of a smaller household. My Grannie loved these! Please note that the one hour chilling and soaking time is not included in the prep time.

  • Whisk buttermilk and 1 tsp salt into a bowl.
  • Place breadcrumbs in a separate bowl and add another tsp salt.
