Time 30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 to 3 tablespoons chopped canned chipotle chiles in adobo sauce
2 tablespoons crumbled cooked bacon
1 cup Corn Chex™ cereal
1 cup Rice Chex™ cereal
1 cup rice-based gluten-free baking mix
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne)
1/2 teaspoon ancho chile powder
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup milk
2 eggs
2 large sweet onions
Vegetable oil for deep frying

Steps:

  • Mix Dip ingredients in small bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Crush cereals. In large bowl, mix crushed cereals, baking mix, salt and spices. In another large bowl, beat milk and eggs with whisk.
  • Cut 1/2 inch off pointed end of onion; peel onion, leaving bottom stem. Cut 1-inch diameter core out of middle of onion. Using very sharp, large knife, cut through center of onion to about three-fourths of the way down. Turn the onion 90 degrees and cut it again in an X across the first cut. Keep cutting the sections in half, very carefully until the onion has been cut 16 times. Do not cut down to the bottom of the onion. Spread the "petals" of the onion apart. Coat onion with cereal mixture, separating petals and sprinkling dry coating between them. Dip onion into egg mixture, then into cereal mixture again. This double-dipping ensures a well-coated onion; some of the coating will wash off when frying the onion.
  • Repeat step 3 with remaining onion, cereal mixture and egg mixture.
  • In deep fat fryer or heavy saucepan, place enough oil to just cover onion. Heat oil to 350°F. Using slotted spoon, slowly place 1 coated onion at a time into hot oil. Adjust heat to keep oil at 350°F. Fry 3 minutes; turn onion with slotted spoon. Fry 3 to 4 minutes longer or until onion is golden brown. Remove with slotted spoon; drain on paper towels. Serve hot with dip.

BLOOMING ONION AND DIPPING SAUCE



Blooming Onion and Dipping Sauce image

This batter-fried onion and a spicy dipping sauce will get your party going any day!

Provided by Jackie Smith

Categories     Appetizers and Snacks

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 20

½ cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon ketchup
2 tablespoons cream-style horseradish sauce
⅓ teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon dried oregano
1 pinch ground black pepper
⅓ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 egg
1 cup milk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 ½ teaspoons cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
⅓ teaspoon dried oregano
⅛ teaspoon dried thyme
⅛ teaspoon ground cumin
1 large sweet onion
¾ cup vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

  • To make sauce: In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, horseradish, 1/3 teaspoon paprika, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon oregano, a dash ground black pepper and cayenne pepper; mix well. Keep sauce covered in refrigerator until needed.
  • To make the batter: In a medium bowl, beat egg and add milk. In a separate bowl, combine flour, salt, cayenne pepper, paprika, ground black pepper, oregano, thyme and cumin; mix.
  • To slice onion: slice 1 inch off of the top and bottom of the onion and remove the papery skin. Use a thin knife to cut a 1 inch diameter core out of the middle of the onion. Now use a very sharp, large knife to slice the onion several times down the center to create 'petals': First slice through the center of the onion to about three-fourths of the way down. Turn the onion 90 degrees and slice it again in an X across the first slice. Keep slicing the sections in half, very carefully until the onion has been cut 16 times. Do not cut down to the bottom of the onion. (The last 8 slices will be difficult, be careful).
  • Spread the 'petals' of the onion apart. To help keep them separate you could plunge the onion into boiling water for 1 minute and then into cold water.
  • Dip the onion into the milk mixture and then coat it liberally with the flour mixture. Again separate the petals and sprinkle the dry coating between them. Once you're sure the onion is well-coated, dip it back into the wet mixture and into the dry coating again. This double-dipping ensures you have a well-coated onion because some of the coating will wash off when you fry the onion.
  • Heat oil in a deep fryer or deep pot to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Make sure you use enough oil to completely cover the onion when it fries.
  • Fry the onion right side up in the oil for 10 minutes or until it turns brown. When the onion has browned, remove it from the oil and let it drain on a rack or paper towels. Open the onion wider from the center so that you can put a small dish of the dipping sauce in the center.

ALMOST-FAMOUS BLOOMIN' ONION



Almost-Famous Bloomin' Onion image

This crispy fried onion has pull-apart "petals" that you can dip into a creamy, spiced sauce.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons sour cream
1 1/2 teaspoons ketchup
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon drained horseradish
1/4 teaspoon paprika
Pinch of cayenne pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 large sweet onion, such as Vidalia (about 1 pound)
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons paprika
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Freshly ground black pepper
2 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
1 gallon soy or corn oil, as needed, for frying
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Combine all of the dip ingredients in a bowl, cover and refrigerate.
  • Slice the onion (see Cook's Note). Whisk the flour, cayenne, paprika, thyme, oregano, cumin and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper in a bowl. In a small deep bowl, whisk the eggs, milk and 1 cup water.
  • Place the onion in a separate bowl, cut-side up, and pour all of the flour mixture on top. Cover the bowl with a plate, then shake back and forth to distribute the flour. Check to make sure the onion is fully coated, especially between the "petals." Lift the onion by the core, turn over and pat off the excess flour; reserve the bowl of flour.
  • Using a slotted spoon, fully submerge the onion in the egg mixture (spoon on top, if necessary). Remove and let the excess egg drip off, then repeat the flouring process. Refrigerate the onion while you heat the oil.
  • Fill a large deep pot with at least 3 inches of the oil, leaving 2 inches of space at the top. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 400 degrees. Pat off excess flour from the onion. Using a wire skimmer, carefully lower the onion into the oil, cut-side down. Adjust the heat so the oil temperature stays close to 350 degrees. Fry about 3 minutes, then turn the onion over and cook until golden, about 3 more minutes; drain on paper towels. Season with salt and serve with the dip.
