Onion rings
November 19, 2009 • Hello. I am currently out of the country and unable to respond to comments and e-mails. Rest assured, however, that future posts have been scheduled so new recipes will go live almost everyday during my absence. I'll be back soon with lots of stories and photos. Ciao for now! ~ ConnieMy 14-year-old daughter is nuts over onion rings. Has been since the first time she tried them. We never go to Don Henrico’s without ordering a basket of onion rings. In fact, dining at Don Henrico’s is an excuse for ordering onion rings.
But Don’s Henrico’s prices aren’t exactly cheap. The price of a basket of onion rings can feed two people in a fast food outlet, or three people in a pares joint. That, and the fact that the nearest Don Henrico’s branch from where live is 40 minutes away, are the reasons why we have tried — numerous times — to try cooking those wonderfully crisp and golden onion rings at home. Sad to say, all attempts ended with disastrous results.
While still trying to learn how to make the perfect onion rings, we have tried a few brands of frozen onion rings from time to time. Nothing was satisfactory. Our common complaint — they weren’t made with real onions. They were made from a processed mixture then formed into rings. So, we just stopped buying them. Until yesterday when I chanced upon frozen onion rings at S&R. Unlike the ones we tried before, these onion rings came in a transparent plastic pack. What I saw looked like real onion rings. I took one pack and decided to give it a try.
The cooking directions provided several ways for cooking the onion rings — deep-fried, pan fried, baked in a regular or convection oven. The photo above shows the onion rings after I deep fried them. Not disappointing at all. We enjoyed them with a dip that my daughter made by combining some mayo, garlic bits, kalamansi juice, salt and a little water.
Very nice indeed.

My husband loves onion rings! And yes, Don Henrico’s onion rings to be specific.
I so wanted to try this one out in my kitchen.
Is there any access to your own Onion Rings?
I’m HOping!
my kids also love onion rings. they love it as a siding or as a snack. this is my version of onion rings:
i slice big white onions and marinate it with this mixture: evaporated milk with a dash of salt and pepper. i refrigerate it for an hour or so. this eliminates the pungent smell or onions.
i then dip each one on flour, egg, and then japanese bread crumbs. do this one at a time, then dip fry.
use your favorite sauce.
this version is really crispy and easy to prepare.
enjoy!
