Old Fashioned Onion Rings

May 20th, 2010

The name “onion ring” is truly deceptive. It makes you feel like you’re simply eating a little sliver of onion and not much else. Definitely not the case. Last night for the Lakers game, I surprised my boyfriend with a batch of old fashioned onion rings (recipe here). I had never fried anything before and promptly changed into an outfit that more closely resembled a bee keeper since I imagined hot oil splashing all over my arms (again, not the case). They made for a fun and indulgent appetizer and had I been able to stop myself from eating so many, I’d make them again for the next game.

Yummy! I love them & I make the low-cal version all the time. I’m sure they aren’t as good as yours, but I can eat a sh*t ton & not consume a lot of calories.

Emily,
This is such a great idea! I am definitely going to have to try this. I now get off work on Fridays at 1:00pm, so I will have time to try out new recipes.

Oh my! These look tempting. I was just realizing last night that my usual healthy diet and work out must be getting a little too boring b/c the last two weeks I have been eating the most yummy treats! Last night I skipped the gym and ate gelato instead. Not the model of health, but a girl has to live on the wild side sometimes, right! xo

Yum! I will have to try these myself for my next girl’s night in.
btw- your photos are always incredible! Love your blog.

My stomach is growling…onion rings are my favorite junk food and I’ve always been hesitant to make them due to the grease. I might have to try these!

looks so yummy! you should try frying in gee! (clarified butter) its used in for frying most indian treats and makes SUCH a difference and is soooo good for you, my mom has been doing it since I was little and even though we are from argentina not india so i’m not sure how she came across it? Everyone always comments on how great her empanadas and samosas taste and it’s all because of the gee!

i’m seeing this post right before my lunch break at work
I’m craving onion rings now and there’s nowhere to get them nearby ;(

For some reason, the texture of those onion rings remind me of my recipe for coconut shrimp. Is it bad that I’m craving onion rings and coconut shrimp at the same time? =)

http://glamlatte.blogspot.com Jamie
