Caribbean Lime Onion Rings With Spicy Dipping Sauce
A delicious poolside snack - or a great accompaniment for a barbecue. These tangy onion rings are delicious served with the spicy lime dip. I have also used low-fat mayonnaise, in an attempt to lighten the calories!!
Steps
Peel onion and cut into 1 / 4-inch slices , separating rings.
In a medium-size bowl , combine flour , cornmeal , lime zest , baking powder , baking soda , salt and cayenne pepper.
In a large bowl , combine the egg and buttermilk and stir.
Add the flour mixture , and whisk until blended.
Heat oil over medium-high heat in a heavy fry pan until temperature reaches 375f.
Dip onion rings into batter and carefully put into hot oil.
Fry until golden brown , about 2 minutes , turning after one minute.
Remove with fork and place on paper towels to absorb oil.
Serve with lime dipping sauce.
Lime dipping sauce: blend ingredients well.
Make at least 30 minutes before serving.
