Onion #1

LOW CARB DEEP FRIED ONION RINGS
Ingredients:
3-6 cups vegetable oil depending on pot size
3 eggs
¼ c heavy cream
3 large yellow onions
2 1/3 c soy flour
2 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp poultry seasoning

Directions: Place a heavy pot over medium-high heat with at least an inch of vegetable oil. Heat oil to 350 degrees. It is important to monitor and maintain the temperature as the soy flour will burn. Use of a portable deep fryer is a great alternative. In a medium bowl, mix the eggs and cream to make an egg wash. In a separate larger bowl mix the breading ingredients together. Peel and slice the onions in thick slices and separate the rings. Dip individual onion rings in the bread, then the egg wash, and then back in the breading again, making sure to coat well. Pat off any excess breading and carefully place into hot oil, in batches, and fry until golden brown and crisp, just 1-2 minutes. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Serve immediately.

Try the same breading on baked pork chops, okra, mozzarella sticks, mushrooms, chicken and eggplant.
