Pickled Onion Rings with Yoghurt Dipping Sauce
Recipe By Michael Weldon
Ingredients
4 large onions, cut into 1 cm slices and separated
1 cup apple cider vinegar
½ cup sugar
1 tbsp sea salt
Batter
1 cup plain flour, plus half a cup for dusting
1 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
1 cup beer (chilled)
1 tbsp vinegar
oil for frying
Dipping Sauce
2 dollops Jalna Greek yoghurt
1 tsp smoked paprika
juice from half a lemon
pinch sea salt
2 tsp fresh chives
Method
In a saucepan combine the vinegar, sugar, ½ cup water and a large pinch of salt. Place on the heat, warm until the sugar and salt is dissolved. Then pour over the onion ring strips. Level to pickle until at room temperature for at least 20 minutes.
In a bowl combine the flour, baking powder and salt, mix. Then add in the wet ingredients and mix to form a batter.
Heat a pot of oil to 180 degrees (C).
Drain the onion rings from their pickle bath then dust in flour. Drop the onion rings into the batter.
Add the battered onion rings one by one into the oil and fry until golden and crisp, season with salt. On your last batch, start to make the yoghurt sauce.
Combine the yoghurt sauce ingredients and serve immediately.
