Onion Tanglers

Onion Tanglers
Serves 4



If you don't think that you've ever had crispy fried onion strings, or as I like to call them, onion tanglers, before, you maybe haven't noticed them on top of your burger or steak at a good restaurant? I don't know how you miss them though, because I love them to death, and can eat them anytime....

Of course I never realized how easy they actually are to make, but once I tried making them I knew it could be nothing but trouble for me, because I am now officially obsessed.

Ingredients:

Tanglers:
2 large Vidalia onions sliced paper thin
2 cups buttermilk
2 cups flour of choice
1 tablespoon salt and pepper each
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Southwestern dipping sauce:
Mayo
Ketchup
Cream- style horseradish
Salt and pepper
Cayenne
Oregano


Instructions:

Dip:

Mix all ingredients together and let cool 1 hour before serving.
Instructions:

Tanglers:

Grab your beautiful large onions, and slice them as finely as possible without removing your fingertips :)
Place into a casserole dish


Pour about 2 cups of buttermilk over top


In a mixing bowl, add flour, salt & pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix well.


Heat about 2-3 inches of oil into a large skillet or dutch oven till it reaches 360-375 degrees.
Once heated dip your onions into the flour mixture, and then, toss them around and shake off excess before adding to oil.


Using a spyder - which is the best kitchen tool even invented, lightly toss the onion strings around for 3-4 minutes until they have browned. Remove and cool on paper towels to absorb excess oil. Sprinkle with salt and serve hot with your southwest dipping sauce!
