FRENCH FRIED ONIONS

Steps:

• Soak the onions in the milk for 5 minutes.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet or deep fryer.
• Take a handful of onions and run them through the flour with a fork to coat.
• Fry in batches in the oil, stirring as needed to brown evenly.
• Drain on paper towels and season to taste.
• Store in an air-tight container.

FRIED ONION BURGER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250˚ F. Mix the beef with 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a large bowl, then form into 8 balls.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 of the beef balls and slightly flatten with a metal spatula. Place a handful of the sliced onions on each patty (you'll use about a quarter of the onions for 2 patties - it will seem like a lot!) and flatten the beef into 1/4-inch-thick patties, pressing the onions into each burger. Cook until browned on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Carefully flip the burgers along with the onions and cook until the onions are browned and tender, about 2 more minutes. Flip the burgers again, along with the onions, and top each with a slice of cheese. Cover and continue cooking until the cheese melts, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Transfer to a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven until serving.
• Repeat with the remaining beef and onions to make 8 burgers total, adding more vegetable oil to the skillet if needed. Serve 2 burgers on each bun with ketchup, mustard and/or pickles.

CRISPY FRIED ONIONS

Steps:

• Pass the sliced onions through the milk. Combine flour, garlic powder and turmeric. Pass onions through seasoned flour.
• Deep fry at 375 degrees F. until golden. Drain and season with salt and pepper.

FRIED ONIONS

Steps:

• Slice onion as thinly as possible, more like a shave than a cut, across width. (You may need to use a meat slicer or food processor fitted with a 1 millimeter blade to slice it this fine.)
• Heat oil in a small skillet. Working in small batches, fry onions, constantly shaking the pan, just until crispy and golden, about 3 minutes. Remove onions with tongs or a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

FRIED ONIONS

Steps:

• Whisk together the eggs and milk in a medium bowl. Toss in the sliced onion and let stand for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• In a large bowl, season the flour with salt and pepper.
• Pour an inch of oil into a deep skillet and heat it to 350 degrees. Lift the onions out of the egg mixture and toss them in the flour. Fry, in batches, until golden brown, and transfer to paper towels to drain.
• Place the onions in a casserole, sprinkle with the cheese, and bake for 10 minutes. Serve.

CARAMELISED ONIONS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large deep frying pan over a low heat.
• Add the onions with a generous pinch of salt and cook slowly for 30-40 mins. Stir occasionally to prevent them from sticking or burning until they become soft and golden. If the onions start to catch, add a splash of water to the pan and mix well.
• Add the sugar and vinegar to give them a sweet, slightly sharp chutney flavour. Keep cooking on a low heat for another 5 mins, stirring occasionally until the mix is sticky, the sugar has dissolved and the vinegar has reduced. The onions are now ready to serve, or use in a recipe.

MICROWAVE 'FRIED' ONIONS (FAT FREE)

Steps:

• Slice the onion/s just as you would for frying them for burgers or hot-dogs and place on a microwaveable plate (or in a microwaveable bowl if doing lots of onions to feed several people).
• Add oil or a knob of butter if desired.
• Microwave for 2 - 3 minutes or until done, gently stir/mix halfway through cooking time.
• Microwaves vary greatly in strength, but as a guide, for one medium onion - enough for a good sized hot dog, in my 1000W machine I microwave on high for 1 minute 30 seconds then loosely mix with my fingers. I then set the microwave for another 1 minute 30 seconds but I don't press start until the sausages/burgers etc are almost finished being grilled then press start just before serving so that the onion is piping hot.
• They have a bit more 'kick' to them than pan-fried onions if you do them without the fat. If using oil or butter do go easy as very little is required.
• It's a viable and very handy way of 'frying' onions whether you're a healthy-eating fanatic like me or not!
