Where did onion rings come from and how to cook them correctly

Who would have thought that you can not only add onions to salads, first and second courses, but also make a full-fledged, satisfying and very tasty snack out of it? Fried onion rings as we know them today have been around since about 1910. It was then that their recipe was first published in the pages of the NY Daily Times. The snack quickly gained immense popularity in bars and fast food chains in the United States, from where it spread to Canada and Australia. In these countries, onion rings in batter have become a real culinary hit.

Batter onion rings have long been one of the most popular snacks.

As the years passed, international integration gained momentum and touched, among other things, the cuisines of the peoples of the world. National dishes of varying degrees of complexity became famous and popular far beyond the borders of their homeland. And onion rings in batter were liked where everyone loves beer - in Europe and our country. Now this appetizer rivals in demand with chips, nuts, fried ears, squids and even our traditional ram. And you can easily and quickly prepare onion rings, even if you roll a ball in the refrigerator, and guests are already on the way.

The standard set of products for rings is as follows:

• whole onions at least medium in size;
• fresh chicken eggs;
• water (or milk, sour cream, beer - depending on the batter recipe);
• flour;
• salt and a set of any spices to your taste;
• vegetable oil for frying.

The principle of cooking is very simple: cut the onions into rings, disassemble them, and dip the larger ones in batter (and sometimes also in breading). Immediately transfer them to well-heated vegetable oil and fry for a few minutes so that the rings become golden and crispy.

You can add additional ingredients to the batter or breading to add flavor to your snack. This could be:

• garlic powder,
• sesame,
• cream cheese,
• pieces of bacon.

We will not ignore these recipes.

Any onion rings in batter are suitable, including spicy and savory sauces

Onion rings in batter perfectly coexist with the company of any creamy, hot and piquant sauces, from simple mustard, ketchup and mayonnaise to creamy Alfredo.
