Where do onion rings come from and how to cook them correctly

Fried onion rings as we know them today have been around since about 1910. It was then that their recipe was first published on the pages of the NY Daily Times.

National dishes of varying degrees of complexity became famous and popular far beyond the borders of their homeland.

And you can prepare onion rings easily and quickly, even if the refrigerator is in full swing and guests are already on the way.

The standard set of products for rings is as follows:

• whole onions of at least medium size;

Note! For frying, be sure to use only high-quality refined and deodorized vegetable oil. Otherwise, everything around will become saturated with an unpleasant odor, and the rings will turn out to be too greasy and even rancid.

The cooking principle is very simple: cut the onions into rings, take them apart, and dip the larger ones in batter (and sometimes also in breading). Immediately transfer them to well-heated vegetable oil and fry for several minutes until the rings become golden and crispy.

To diversify the taste of the snack, additional ingredients can be added to the batter or breading.. It could be:

• garlic powder,
• sesame,
• cream cheese,
• pieces of bacon.

With sesame seeds, baked in the oven

To make beer snacks less harmful to the stomach and figure, let’s try not deep-frying them, but baking them in the oven.

• 2 large onions;
• 0.5 cups flour;
• 1 teaspoon baking powder;
• 3 eggs;
• sesame;
• breadcrumbs;
• salt;
• pepper;
• any spices;

1. Cut the onions into rings about 1 cm thick, disassemble them and remove the very small ones. Place the selected large rings in a bowl and fill with raw cold water.
2. Take 3 more deep bowls. In one of them, mix the sifted flour with baking powder, in the other, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, add sesame seeds, breadcrumbs and selected spices. Place the bowls next to each other in this order.
3. Dip each onion ring in the following order: flour, beaten eggs, breadcrumbs, sesame seeds and spices. Place on a baking sheet greased with vegetable oil.

• chili or barbecue sauce;

2. Separate several large circles and brush each of them with sauce using a brush. You can completely dip them in the sauce, but then you will have to wait until the excess drips off.
3. Wrap each ring with strips of bacon.
4. Try to make sure the bacon completely covers the onion ring.
5. To prevent the structure from falling apart, secure it with a wooden skewer.
6. While the oven is preheating to 200°C, mix the flour with the sparkling water. Dip each bacon ring into the batter one at a time and let the excess liquid drip off a little.
   

   In this recipe, you can do without batter if you don’t want to bother with it at all.

7. Immediately transfer the bacon rings to a baking sheet lined with foil and greased with oil, and put it all in the oven. Baking time - 40 minutes.
8. Take out the rings and serve immediately. They go well with ketchup, sweet mustard and lemon juice..
