A delicious poolside snack - or a great accompaniment for a barbecue. These tangy onion rings are delicious served with the spicy lime dip. I have also used low-fat mayonnaise, in an attempt to lighten the calories! Ingredients:
1 large sweet onion |
3/4 cup flour |
1/4 cup cornmeal |
1 teaspoon lime zest |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
1 large egg, lightly beaten |
1 cup buttermilk |
oil (for frying) |
2/3 cup low-fat mayonnaise |
2 tablespoons brown sugar |
2 tablespoons honey |
2 tablespoons lime juice |
1 teaspoon horseradish |
Directions:
1. Peel onion and cut into 1/4-inch slices, separating rings.
2. In a medium-size bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, lime zest, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cayenne pepper.
3. In a large bowl, combine the egg and buttermilk and stir. Add the flour mixture, and whisk until blended.
4. Heat oil over medium-high heat in a heavy fry pan until temperature reaches 375°F.
5. Dip onion rings into batter and carefully put into hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes, turning after one minute. Remove with fork and place on paper towels to absorb oil. Serve with Lime Dipping Sauce.
6. Lime Dipping Sauce: Blend ingredients well. Make at least 30 minutes before serving.
