Crispy Fried Leek Rings Recipes

LEEK RINGS

Steps:

• Preheat the oil in a heavy 5-quart pot over medium-high heat to 375 degrees F.
• Slice the leeks into 1/2-inch wide rings, separating them 2 layers at a time.
• In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the milk and the egg. In another medium mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Divide the flour into 2 separate, shallow dishes and place the milk and egg mixture in a third. Going 1 small handful at a time, dip the rings first into the first flour mixture, then into the milk and egg, and then into the second flour mixture. Working in batches, fry the rings for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove the rings to a cooling rack set inside a half sheet pan and allow to drain for 2 to 3 minutes before serving. Season with additional salt, if desired.

AMAZING CRISPY FRIED ONION RINGS

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.
