ingredients
- 2 large sweet onions (i.e. Vidalia, Mayan, etc.)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1⁄2 cups chicken stock or 1 1/2 cups vegetable stock (maybe more, see note below)
- 1 tablespoon salt (optional)
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1⁄4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 dried ancho peppers, flaked (or use your favorite chili pepper)
- to taste vegetable oil (for frying)
directions
- Cut onions into 1/4-inch slices and separate concentric rings. Set aside.
- Mix flour, salt (optionally), paprika, cayenne pepper, and the pepper flakes.
- Add stock until mixture takes on a batter consistency -- see note below.
- Pour oil into heavy saucepan, wok, or deep fryer to a depth of 2 to 3 inches. Heat to 350F.
- Preferably with tongs, coat each ring individually until completely covered with batter.
- In batches, place rings into the oil until batter takes on various shades of medium and dark brown.
- Remove rings from oil and place on dioxin-free paper towel to absorb the excess oil.
- * I'm not sure exactly how much stock to use here but start with the recommended 1 1/2 cups and add flour and stock intermittently until a batter texture is achieved.
