Red Ale Onion Rings Recipes

RED ALE ONION RINGS

Steps:

• Pour 4 inches (10 centimeters) oil into an 8-quart (8 liter) Dutch oven and bring to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C) over medium-high heat.
• While the oil comes to temperature, peel the onions and slice into rings 1/2 inch (12 millimeter) thick.
• In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Whisk in the ale until the ingredients are combined. The batter should be thick but slightly loose.
• Place a wire rack in a sheet pan. Working in batches, dip the rings into the batter. Drain off any excess batter back into the bowl, then slowly lower the onions into the hot oil. Cook, flipping the onions every 30 seconds, until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Using a spider, transfer the onions to the wire rack and lightly season with sea salt.
• In a nonreactive medium bowl, combine the ketchup, lime juice, brown sugar, oregano, thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, allspice, cayenne, pepper flakes, and salt and mix until incorporated. Use immediately or transfer the ketchup to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 4 days.

TEMPURA ONION RINGS

Steps:

• In a wok or large pot, heat oil until a deep-frying thermometer registers 370 degrees. In a medium bowl set over an ice bath, stir yolk with chopsticks or a whisk; add ice water, stirring to combine. Sift flour and cornstarch into egg mixture, stirring to incorporate. Don't worry about a few remaining lumps in the batter.
• Coat onion rings with batter, letting excess drip back into bowl. Fry onion rings in the hot oil in small batches, turning once, until just beginning to color. Drain on paper towel. Repeat process, skimming oil of tempura batter bits as necessary until all onion rings have been fried. If oil becomes dark, begin again with fresh oil. Serve immediately.
