Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

Ingredients

1 1/2 quarts vegetable oil
1 cup instant flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon paprika
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper
2 cups buttermilk
4 Vidalia onions (or other sweet onion, such as Maui), cut into 1/4-inch thick slices and separated into rings
Fire roasted red pepper ketchup, recipe follows
1 large onion, cut into small dice
3 garlic cloves, minced
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 1/2 pounds red peppers, roasted, peeled, seeded, and roughly chopped
2 cups vegetable stock
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard powder
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon ground mace
1 tablespoon minced hot red chiles
3/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup dry red wine
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Salt

Steps:

In a 3-quart pot, preheat 4-inches oil to 375 degrees F.
In a shallow bowl, combine flours, cayenne, paprika, salt, and white pepper. Pour the buttermilk into another shallow dish.
Toss the onion rings in the flour mixture and shake off excess flour. Add to buttermilk mixture and make sure the rings are thoroughly coated. With a clean hand, add rings to flour mix again and shake off any excess flour.
Begin to fry in preheated oil in small batches, 1/4 of total amount at a time. Cook onion rings for about 3 to 5 minutes, turning occasionally with metal tongs or slotted spoon, until crispy and browned. Drain on paper towels and keep in warm place (low oven, about 200 degrees F) until ready to serve. Sprinkle with extra salt, if needed.
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, sweat onions and garlic in olive oil until translucent. Add peppers and vegetable stock and stew until 1/2 of stock has evaporated. Add spices and chiles. Cover with vinegar and wine. Allow to cook, uncovered, until most of the liquid has evaporated. Let cool, then puree in a food processor, and season with pepper and salt, to taste.

SOUTHERN-FRIED SWEET ONION RINGS

Southern-Fried Sweet Onion Rings image

Thin enough to flash-fry but thick enough to let the sweet onion flavor shine through, these onion rings work well as a side dish but also are great as a stand-alone snack. Less is more when dipping the rings in the buttermilk mixture and then the flour mixture. Be delicate in the coating process, and make sure to let as much liquid and then as much flour fall off as possible. Less breading means less grease absorption and a crisper finished product. The flour should be as fine as possible, so reserve half of the flour mixture. When the first batch starts to get wet and gummy, replace it with the remaining half. The oil temperature matters, too. Heat the oil to at least 360 degrees, and fry the rings in batches. They cook so quickly it is easy to get through the frying in 10 minutes. Keep them warm in a 200 degree oven until all the frying is done.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 to 2 quarts peanut or other frying oil, such as canola
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups finely ground cornmeal
1/2 cup cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 egg
1 cup buttermilk
2 large Vidalia or other sweet onions, sliced 1/4-inch thick
Kosher salt

Steps:

Heat oil in a large heavy pot. It should be at least 3 inches deep, but more is better.
In a wide shallow bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, cornstarch and cayenne. In a second bowl, beat egg and buttermilk. Separate onion slices into rings.
Working in batches, lightly toss the rings in the flour mixture, then dip into the buttermilk mixture. Allow most of the liquid to drip off, then toss again in the flour mixture. Shake off as much flour as possible and place the rings into the hot oil.
Fry for 2 to 3 minutes or until golden brown, moving the rings around a bit in the oil to keep them separated.
Put the onion rings on a plate or bowl lined with paper towel and salt. Repeat until the onions are done.

FRIED ONION RINGS

These are very delicate and the best I have had. My ex was a fanatic when it came to onion rings, and thought this recipe to be the best he ever had. Have also made other veggies in this batter. Can be refrigerated or frozen, then reheated in oven or microwave. Carbonated water can be substituted for beer in this recipe.
