Directions
Slice large onions into thick slices (about 1/2 inch
thick) Separate the slices into rings.
Purchase a package of Oriental-style Tempura Mix at
the grocery store (this is sold under the Ka-Me and
various other brand names).
Make the mix according to package directions, except
substitute cold beer for the liquid called for in the
directions.
Dip the onion rings in the batter, and deep fry until
light golden (it won't and shouldn't get too brown).
The result is a wonderful, crispy onion ring with a
very light batter coating that even people who usually
don't like onion rings seem to enjoy.
This batter is also good for fish, shrimp, fried
mushrooms, fried zucchini, etc.

The History of Recipes
Written recipes as a concept can be traced back into the distant past, certainly as far back into history as early Egypt, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, mostly, these ancient cook books were just very simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
As we move on, there are a couple of books which date from the 1300s ; a cookery book called `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these are not about the spicy food that is familiar to us all today, but rather accounts of the types of meals on the menues of the rich people of that time. Later, in the fifteenth century, the Crusaders brought back many new spices and herbs from Arab countries, including spices such as basil and coriander. The introduction of these new culinary ideas prompted a torrent in books on cooking, most of which still exist in private cookery archives. The revolution that is television brought us celebrity TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to search through massive numbers of recipes such as those found on the site you are now reading. |
We hope you enjoy this Kathy Pitts' Onion Rings recipe.
