Salt And Vinegar Onion Rings
Sometimes you just need something fried. This is such an easy recipe and is great to use up olde onions. PSA these are addictive. Double recipe to make a big batch.
INGREDIENTS
- 500g onions, sliced into 1cm-thick rounds
- 2 cups (500ml) sherry vinegar
- 2 teaspoons sea salt flakes
- 1½ cups (225g) self-raising (self-rising) flour
- 2 tablespoons caster (superfine) sugar
- 3 cups (750ml) cold soda water
- 3 cups (450g) cornflour (cornstarch)
- vegetable oil, for deep-frying
- smoked sea salt flakes, to serve
- Place the onion, vinegar and salt in a large bowl, separating the onion into rings. Set aside for 1 hour 30 minutes to marinate.
- Drain the vinegar mixture from the onion. Place the self-raising flour, sugar, soda water and 2 cups (300g) of the cornflour in a large bowl and stir to just combine.
- Place the remaining cornflour in a separate large bowl. Half-fill a large saucepan with the oil and place over medium heat until it reaches 190°C (375°F) on a deep-frying thermometer. Working in batches, dust the onion in the reserved cornflour, dip in the batter and cook for 2–3 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove using a slotted spoon, drain well, sprinkle with smoked salt and serve immediately. Serves 6
