Categories     Easy/Medium

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 large sweet or yellow onion (thickly sliced into 1/2-inch thick rings)
1 cup milk
1 Tbsp white vinegar
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 Tbsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
Oil for frying (I used canola oil - use something with a high smoke point)

Steps:

  • Heat a dutch oven over medium heat with 1" of oil (or enough to cover the onion rings). You can use a deep fryer if you have one.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup milk with 1 Tbsp vinegar and let sit 5 minutes. Whisk in 1/2 cup sour cream.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together: 1 cup flour, 1/2 Tbsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp garlic powder.
  • Separate the onion rings and dip each ring in the milk mixture, then dredge with flour. (I used a fork to transfer from the wet bowl to the dry bowl so my hands didn't get as gunky). Repeat by dipping in milk mixture a second time and dredging again in flour. Place the finished onion rings on a plate until ready to fry.
  • Once the oil is at 375˚F on a thermometer, or hot enough for the onion rings to sizzle, place 3-4 double battered onion rings in a single layer in the hot oil and cook for about 3 minutes, flipping halfway and fry until exterior is crisp and light golden brown. Let onion rings cool on paper towels so soak up any excess oil.

Categories     appetizer

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
4 teaspoons kosher salt
2 cups buttermilk
4 eggs
3 cups panko breadcrumbs
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 large yellow sweet onions, such as Maui, sliced 1/4-to-1/2-inch thick

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Place parchment paper onto 2 baking sheets and set aside.
  • In a small bowl, combine the flour, paprika and 2 teaspoons salt. In another bowl or shallow dish, whisk together the buttermilk and eggs. Add half of the flour mixture to the buttermilk and beat until smooth and thickened.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the panko, olive oil and remaining 2 teaspoons salt.
  • Lightly dredge the onion rings in the flour mixture and then drop into the buttermilk. Drain the excess batter and then dredge in the panko mixture.
  • Arrange on the prepared baking sheets in a single layer. You can place smaller rings inside bigger rings if necessary, just make sure there is space between them. Then place in the oven. Cook until golden brown, 14 to 20 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time, flip over each onion ring to ensure even crisping and browning.

PASTRAMI SANDWICHES WITH ONION RINGS AND QUICK PICKLES



Pastrami Sandwiches with Onion Rings and Quick Pickles image

Pastrami on rye is the ultimate classic Jewish deli sandwich that I loved eating late at night at Katz's when I lived in New York. Pastrami is made from either the deckel, navel, or brisket cut of beef, and is brined, smoked, and steamed, which infuses it with sooo much addictive flavor. In this version I topped mine with onion rings because YOLO. They add crunch and sweetness too.

Time P1DT17h20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 31

1 cup kosher salt
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup light brown sugar
2 tablespoons pickling spice
1 tablespoon mustard seeds
1 tablespoon pink curing salt (not pink Himalayan salt)
4 cloves garlic, crushed and peeled
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon coriander seeds
One 3- to 3 1/2-pound piece brisket, with the fat cap (ask for the flat cut of the brisket, not the point cut)
1/4 cup black peppercorns
2 tablespoons smoked paprika
Sliced rye bread, for serving
Deli mustard, for serving
Onion Rings, recipe follows
Pickles, recipe follows
Canola oil, for frying
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, whisked
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/2 cup regular breadcrumbs
1 large onion, sliced into 1/4-inch rings
Kosher salt
1 cup distilled white vinegar
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons mustard seeds
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
1 clove garlic, crushed and peeled
3 Persian or small kirby cucumbers, sliced about 1/4-inch thick
2 red chiles, thinly sliced
1/4 cup fresh dill sprigs

Steps:

  • Combine the salt, granulated sugar, brown sugar, pickling spice, mustard seeds, pink curing salt, garlic and 1 tablespoon coriander in a large pot. Add 3 quarts water. Bring to a simmer and cook to dissolve the sugar and salt. Add 3 quarts cold water. Let cool to room temperature. Add the brisket, then weigh down with a plate and cover the pot. Refrigerate for 3 days. (If your refrigerator is too small to hold the pot, you can cut the brisket in half and refrigerate in 2 smaller containers as well.)
  • When you are ready to cook the brisket, preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
  • Arrange a rack in a roasting pan. Bring a kettle of water to a boil. Coarsely crush the peppercorns and the remaining 1/4 cup coriander seeds in a spice grinder. Pour into a small bowl and stir in the smoked paprika. Remove the meat from the brine and rinse briefly. Pat dry. Pat the spice mixture all over and set the meat in the roasting pan, fat side up. Pour the boiling water in the bottom of the pan (don't let it touch the meat). Cover the roasting pan tightly with foil. Roast until the meat is very tender, about 3 hours. Carefully remove the foil and roast 10 more minutes to dry out the crust slightly.
  • Slice the warm pastrami. Serve on rye bread with deli mustard and Onion Rings and Pickles on the side. (This pastrami can also be made ahead. To reheat, thinly slice and set over a steamer, or microwave covered with a damp paper towel.)
  • Heat 1 inch oil in a pan to 350 degrees F.
  • Set the flour in a bowl, eggs in a second bowl, and combine the panko and regular breadcrumbs in a third. Dredge the onions in the flour first, followed by the eggs and finally the breadcrumbs, then pan-fry until golden brown, a few minutes on each side. Remove to a rack to drain and stay crispy and season with salt.
  • Combine the vinegar, salt, mustard seeds, granulated sugar, peppercorns, garlic and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan. Layer the cucumbers, chiles and dill sprigs in a jar or other lidded container. Bring the vinegar mixture to a simmer and stir to dissolve the salt and sugar. Pour over the cucumbers. Let cool to room temperature. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 2 hours. (The pickles will keep a week or more in the refrigerator.)
