HERB CRUSTED ONION RINGS

Category: Sides

2 sweet onions
1 cup flour
2 tsp Italian herb seasoning
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1 cup beer
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
Peanut, corn or vegetable oil

Peel sweet onions and cut crosswise into 3/8-inch thick slices; separate into rings. In medium bowl, combine flour, herbs and seasonings. Gradually stir in beer; add mustard and whisk batter until smooth.

Heat about 3 inches of oil in a deep fat fryer to 375 degrees. Dip the rings in the batter, coating well and allow excess batter to drip off. Fry the onion rings in small batches for about 3 minutes or until golden brown, turning occasionally. Transfer onion rings to paper towels with a slotted spoon to drain; serve hot.
