mangia mondays 64: red chile onion strings

howdy, ya'll!

welcome to

a blog hop i co-host each week

with the always amazing

lisa from shine your light.

since i've been put on bed rest,

it's been up to the hubs to do the cooking.

i really wanted burgers

{& hubs can work the grill like nobody's business!},

but wanted something "special."

so, to go with the delicious burgers hubs was making,

i whipped up these

red chile onion strings

vegetable oil, for frying

1 red onion, cut in 1/2 & thinly sliced

2 C all-purpose flour

1 TBS chipotle chile powder

1 TBS ancho chile powder

1 TBS garlic powder

1 tsp cayenne pepper

2 tsp salt

2 eggs, beaten

1. heat oil in a large pot over medium.

2. in a large bowl, combine flour, chile powders, garlic powder, cayenne & salt. dredge onion slices in the flour mixture & sift to remove excess.

3. dunk the onion strings into the beaten eggs & return to the flour mixture. coat all of the onion strings well.

4. fry onion strings in batches until golden brown & crisp. serve immediately.

these are REALLY good on a burger...

but they're also exceptional as a side dish

with some ranch dressing...

yummmmm! :)

or, how about on top of that green bean casserole?

just sayin'!
