Deep-Fried Spring Onions image

This dish is inspired by something similar served at Chez Panisse in Berkeley. It works as a side, of course, but also as an hors d'oeuvre served with drinks. More spring recipes.

Time 20m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

Vegetable oil, for frying
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup flour
8 spring onions
Salt

Steps:

  • In a large, deep pot, pour in 2 inches of oil and heat to 350 degrees. Put the buttermilk and flour in separate shallow bowls.
  • Trim the tops of the onions so they fit comfortably in the pan. Remove the outer layer and trim the bottom of each onion, then halve them lengthwise (or wedge them if they are thick).
  • Dip half the onions in buttermilk, then dredge in flour and fry for 3 to 4 minutes, until golden brown and tender. Remove to a paper-towel-lined plate and season with salt. Repeat with remaining onions.

Overall, these spring onions were a solid dish. The batter was crispy and the onions were cooked well. However, I found the flavor to be a bit bland.

I got creative with the dipping sauce and made a spicy mayo sauce. It was the perfect complement to the spring onions.

This recipe is very affordable to make. Spring onions are relatively inexpensive, and you probably already have most of the other ingredients in your pantry.

I made a few modifications to make this dish healthier. I used whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour, and I baked the spring onions instead of frying them.

The flavors in this dish are amazing! The combination of the sweet onions, the salty batter, and the spicy dipping sauce is perfect.
