Fried Onions

Crisp fried onions are a simple yet versatile topping that brightens up any dish.

1. Cut the onion into thin rings or strips.

2. Toss the rings in flour and shake off the excess – this way they crisp up evenly.

3. Fry them in plenty of hot oil, in small batches, so the oil does not cool down.

4. Fry them golden, stirring often; at the end take care, as they can burn quickly.

5. Lift them onto paper towel with a slotted spoon, and salt them while still warm.

Tip: It is equally excellent scattered on a burger, alongside roast meats, or over the top of side dishes.
