Killians Onion Petals Food

CHARRED ONION PETALS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300°F. Halve onions through root ends (do not trim tops). Remove outermost papery layers from each onion.
• Heat a large cast-iron skillet over high. Add oil and swirl to evenly coat skillet. (Oil should shimmer and start to smoke almost immediately.) Add onion halves, cut sides down, nestling them close together. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, undisturbed, until cut sides are blackened, 18-20 minutes. Surfaces will look and smell burnt.
• Transfer skillet to oven and roast onions until the innermost layers are no longer raw but are still rigid, 10-15 minutes. Remove skillet from oven and transfer onions to a large rimmed baking sheet, placing cut sides up.
• Let onions cool slightly, then trim papery tops with kitchen shears. Separate layers into individual petals; discard root ends (some center pieces may not curve, which is okay). Arrange petals in a single layer and season with salt.

KILLIAN'S ONION PETALS

Steps:

• Cut off ends of onion and cut into quarters.
• Julienne the quartered onions and separate into"petals".
• Put remaining ingredients in blender and process until smooth, scraping down sides a couple of times.
• Put beer batter into a bowl, add the onion petals and stir to coat.
• Remove batter coated petals to a cookie sheet and put in fridge to rest for about 1/2 hour.
• Deep fry petals in fairly hot sunflower oil (about 375º) until golden, about 2 minutes per batch.
• Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.

CRISPY JALAPEñO & ONION PETALS

Steps:

• Cut the onion in half and then into wedges. Separate the onion layers and add them to a bowl. Slice the jalapeños (seeds and all if you like things spicy) into very thin rounds and add to the bowl. Pour over the buttermilk and stir to combine. Let sit while you get the remaining ingredients together.
• Combine the flour, salt and a generous pinch of black pepper in a separate bowl, then set aside.
• Add 1 inch of oil to a large, heavy-bottom skillet. Heat to 375 degrees F or until a pinch of the flour sizzles when added to the skillet.
• Using tongs, remove a handful of onions and jalapeños from the buttermilk and immediately dunk into the flour mixture, thoroughly coating them. Tap them on the inside of the bowl to shake off the excess.
• Carefully add the coated onions and jalapeños to the hot oil, breaking them up with a spoon, so they don't stick together. Cook until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper-towel lined plate. Repeat with the remaining onions and jalapeños.
• Serve immediately.

KILLIAN'S POT ROAST

Steps:

• Peel and half the potatoes. Peel the pearl onions. (NOTE: To peel pearl onions, dump into a pot of boiling water and let cook 3 minutes. Remove by using a serrated spoon and immediately put in a bowl of ice water. This is called blanching and the reason for the ice water is to stop the cooking. Use a paring knife and slice off the root end, then squeeze gently the onion and the center will come out of the dried onion layer.).
• In a pie plate, put 1 1/2 cups flour, 4-5 Tbsp Seasoning Salt, and 2 tsp thyme. Mix up and coat the roast on all sides.
• Put 1/4 stick butter and about 2 Tbsp Crisco in a skillet (or dutch oven if you have one). Saute your carrots for a few minutes then remove and set aside, then saute potatoes on all sides, remove and set aside when done -- then sear the roast on all sides.
• Put the seared roast in a baking dish. Put carrots, potatoes, pearl onions, and 3 cloves garlic inches Pour the can of soup and bottle of beer on top. Salt and pepper generously.
• Cover the dish with foil and bake for 2 1/2 hours at 350*.
