For most housewives, fried onions are only an intermediate in the preparation of a number of dishes. Meanwhile, the vegetable is undeservedly offended: it produces very tasty independent goodies. Those who do not believe in this, let them remember the successful attempts of household members to steal almost ready-made frying from the pan. Or “onion” from a plate fried with fish - the main course is still left, and its accompaniment has already been eaten. So do not neglect folk wisdom. Indulge the family with unusual side dishes and nice additions.
Great side dish
Very tasty and incredibly appetizing fried onions, rolled in flour. It is prepared quickly and easily. Some sleight of hand will be needed only to separate the heads into beautiful petals. To do this, the top is cut off from a peeled onion. And she herself is cut with a sharp knife almost to the bottom. But it does not separate completely. Such incisions need to be made 4-6, depending on the size of the bulb. The output should be a kind of flower. The workpiece is expanded and divided so that you have separate segments in your hands. They fall into cold water for several minutes - this will eliminate excess bitterness.
In a bowl, eggs are beaten a little. Flour is poured into another bowl. The onion first dips into the egg. Then it is rolled in flour and immediately sent to a deep frying pan. There should be a lot of oil in it, as for fries. The portion is fried until smooth, light tan. It takes about seven minutes. Then it is pulled out with a slotted spoon, sprinkled with your favorite seasonings and left on a paper towel to absorb excess fat. It harmonizes perfectly with fish and any meat and is eaten faster than it is cooked!
Crispy fried onions: an interesting snack recipe
A very tasteful side dish, perfectly suited to any dish. Even just with boiled potatoes seems like a masterpiece, which is very good on fasting days. Onions are cut in circles half a centimeter thick, disassembled into rings and left in salted water for half an hour. Then the workpiece leans back into a colander. While water flows, dusting is done.
For her, half a glass of flour is mixed with three full spoons of powdered sugar, salt, turmeric, pepper and suneli hops (select the ratio yourself). In vegetable oil in small batches, onions are fried to the desired degree of "tanning". And laid out on napkins to eliminate fat. Such fried onions are good not only as a “companion” to meat with fish or an independent dish, but also as a snack for beer. Unless spices need to be put more.
Fragrant dish
It can also be a worthy accompaniment, and can successfully be a replacement for the main dish. Onions are cut into large slices. A mixture of butter and sunflower oil is well heated in a frying pan. When it starts to splatter a little, the onion is placed in the container and fried with a careful turning (so as not to crumble and keep a presentable appearance) for 5 to 10 minutes. Time directly depends on the desired degree of frying.
When the desired condition is almost achieved, the vegetable is generously sprinkled with rosemary and basil. If the herbs are fresh, immediately after stirring the pan is removed from the heat. When they are dried - it remains on the stove for a short while. After shifting to a dish, the fried onion is sprinkled with balsamic vinegar and served immediately.
Onion sauce
There are many ways to cook and eat fried onions. A recipe with sour cream, for example, makes it possible to prepare a wonderful gravy for mushrooms, all types of meat, fish and poultry. But if you add less sour cream and chop more vegetables (make the sauce thicker), then fried onions will serve as an excellent side dish.
Onions are cut into medium-sized cubes and sautéed in oil until golden. In a deep bowl, a glass of sour cream, chopped bunch of greens are combined (for the first time you can take parsley with dill, and then experiment with other herbs - basil, cilantro, etc.) and crushed garlic. This mixture is poured roasting. You can put it out a little more, you can immediately remove it from the burner - as you like. Do you like thick sauces? Then add a spoonful of flour, mixed in a glass of water. And keep the dish on fire for several minutes, stirring it constantly.
