RED ALE ONION RINGS

Steps:

• Pour 4 inches canola oil into an 8-quart Dutch oven and bring to 350˚ over medium-high heat.
• While the oil comes to temperature, peel the onions and slice into 1/2-inch-thick rings.
• In a large bowl, combine the flour, kosher salt, garlic powder and black pepper. Whisk in the ale until the ingredients are combined. The batter should be thick but slightly loose.
• Place a wire rack on a sheet pan. Working in batches, dip the onion rings into the batter. Drain off any excess batter back into the bowl, then slowly lower the onion rings into the hot oil. Cook, flipping the onions every 30 seconds, until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Using a spider, transfer the onions to the rack and lightly season with sea salt.

Steps:

• Crosscut peeled onions into 1/2-inch rings, discarding onion hearts. In separate container combine eggs, milk, and beer. Mix flour and baking powder thoroughly in separate container. Soak onions in milk mixture and coat onions in flour. This step is repeated a second time, and may be done a third time to insure that the entire onion is dusted with flour mixture. Fry onions in a deep fryer until golden brown.

• Fill a large, wide pot with 2 inches of vegetable oil and heat to 365 degrees F over medium-high heat. In a large bowl, whisk the remaining 2 cups flour with the cornstarch, paprika, cayenne, lime zest and 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt. Add the milk, club soda and egg and whisk to combine.
• Working in 3 or 4 batches, add a small amount of the onions to the batter and then immediately place into the hot oil. Fry until crisp and golden, turning once, 2 to 3 minutes. Allow the oil to come back to temperature between batches.
• Season the onion rings with salt. Serve immediately with your condiment of choice, or transfer to a cooling rack and keep warm in the oven until ready to eat.

Steps:

• Preheat vegetable oil in a deep-fryer to 375 degrees F.
• Slice the onions into 3/4-inch rings and separate. Add the buttermilk, hot sauce, and egg to a large casserole dish and whisk to combine. Stir in the onion slices and allow to soak for 3 to 5 minutes. Put the flour and cornmeal in a large brown paper bag and season with the season salt and cayenne. Add the onion rings, to the paper bag in batches, and shake until they are covered with the flour mixture. Make sure to get rid of the excess buttermilk before adding to the bag.
