Rojo Onion Rings
"There's a recipe posted here with the same name but the ingredients vary slightly. This is from Guy Fieri's cookbook, Food, Cookin' It, Livin' It, Lovin' It. I've rearranged his ingredient list and prep work in a way that makes more sense to me and a way I would prepare this dish in my own kitchen. Prep and Cooking times are estimated and *include* soaking and refrigeration time."
