Crisp Onion Rings Spiced Ketchup Food

CRISPY ONION RINGS RECIPE WITH DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat a dutch oven over medium heat with 1" of oil (or enough to cover the onion rings). You can use a deep fryer if you have one.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup milk with 1 Tbsp vinegar and let sit 5 minutes. Whisk in 1/2 cup sour cream.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together: 1 cup flour, 1/2 Tbsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp garlic powder.
• Separate the onion rings and dip each ring in the milk mixture, then dredge with flour. (I used a fork to transfer from the wet bowl to the dry bowl so my hands didn't get as gunky). Repeat by dipping in milk mixture a second time and dredging again in flour. Place the finished onion rings on a plate until ready to fry.
• Once the oil is at 375˚F on a thermometer, or hot enough for the onion rings to sizzle, place 3-4 double battered onion rings in a single layer in the hot oil and cook for about 3 minutes, flipping halfway and fry until exterior is crisp and light golden brown. Let onion rings cool on paper towels so soak up any excess oil.

CRISP ONION RINGS, SPICED KETCHUP

Steps:

• For the spiced ketchup: In a bowl, whisk together the ketchup, mustard and Sriracha, stirring well. Then refrigerate until serving.
• For the onion rings: Preheat a deep-fryer to 375 degrees F with vegetable or peanut oil, waiting until heated. Next, drain the ice water from the cut onions, ensuring the water has drained. Next, in a bowl, blend the flour, salt and pepper, mixing well. Then add one-third of the onions. Mix the onions well, tap off excess flour and then add to the fryer, cooking until crisp, about 2 minutes. After removing, allow to drain excess oil on paper towels. Repeat with the remaining onions. Serve with the spiced ketchup.

PORK LOIN WITH KETCHUP AND ONION MARMALADE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• For the pork: Rinse pork loin to remove residue and pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Heat grapeseed oil over medium-high heat in an oven safe pan, preferably with a lid. Sear pork loin on all sides, leaving each side undisturbed for the first few minutes before turning, to allow the seasonings to integrate into the surface of the meat. Cover the pan and transfer to the oven. Roast, covered, until fork tender, about 1 1/2 hours, or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Remove cover and increase oven temperature to 425 degrees F for about 10 minutes to allow outside of roast to brown. Remove from oven and allow to rest and carryover cook to 170 degrees F. Slice.
• For the marmalade: While the pork is in the oven, make the marmalade. Heat grapeseed oil over medium heat in a small skillet. Add onion and reduce heat to low. Allow to slowly caramelize, about 30 to 40 minutes. Stir in ketchup and salt and pepper, to taste, and allow to cook for another 10 minutes to reduce and thicken. Add additional oil before serving if the marmalade looks too pasty.
• Serve marmalade over sliced pork.

SOUR CREAM AND ONION-ONION RINGS

Steps:

• Heat 2 inches of oil in a Dutch oven to 370 degrees F.
• Whisk together the sour cream and onion dip mix, 2 teaspoons of the onion powder and 1/2 teaspoon of the garlic powder in a large bowl (large enough to use for dredging). Set aside 2 tablespoons of the seasoning mixture for later. To the mixture in the bowl, stir in 1/4 cup of the flour. Set aside.
• In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 cup flour, the cornstarch, remaining 2 teaspoons onion powder, the salt, baking powder and remaining 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder. Add the seltzer and sour cream and whisk until just smooth. Stir in the chives. The batter should be the consistency of thick paint.
• Add the onion rings to the seasoned flour and toss to lightly coat. Working in 2 batches, dredge the floured rings in the batter, letting the excess drip back in the bowl, and add to the oil. Fry, flipping occasionally, until very crisp and deep golden, about 4 minutes per batch. Drain on a wire rack set over a baking sheet.
• While still hot, season the onion rings with the reserved sour cream and onion seasoning mixture. Serve immediately, with ketchup.

CRISPY ONION RINGS

Steps:

• Put the onions in a large bowl and cover with milk. Let soak for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, using a fine-sieve over a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, 2 teaspoons salt, chili powder, and cumin, if using. Stir in the beer until a smooth batter is formed. Set aside.
• Drain the onions and transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Blot the onions with paper towels until dry.
• In a large, wide heavy-bottomed pot, pour in the oil to a depth of about 2 inches. Place over medium heat and heat to 400 degrees F. (The oil must be heated to 400 degrees F. since the temperature drops oil to about 375 degrees F. when the onions are added.)
• Working in batches, transfer about 8 to 10 of the onions to the batter and mix to coat well. Using tongs, pull several of the onions out of the batter, and let any excess batter fall back into the bowl. Carefully add to the oil and fry, flipping once, until golden brown and crispy, about 3 1/2 minutes per batch. Using the tongs, transfer to a dry paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain. Sprinkle with salt to taste. Repeat with the remaining onions. Serve immediately.
