Serves 4 Takes 35 mins
2 large onions
80ml cornflour
375ml cake flour
5ml garlic powder
10ml paprika
5ml salt
5ml ground black pepper
340ml beer
sunflower oil, for deep frying
FOR THE CREAMY CHILLI SAUCE
125ml mayonnaise
125ml sour cream
60ml sweet chilli sauce
3ml cayenne pepper
1 Cut about 2cm off the top of the
onions to reveal all the layers.
Leave the root end uncut and peel.
Cut each into 12-16 vertical wedges,
without cutting through the root
end. Remove 2cm of the ‘petals’
from the centres of onions.
2 Combine the flours, garlic, paprika,
salt and pepper. Dip the onions in
the seasoned flour and gently shake
to remove excess.
3 Measure out 375ml of the seasoned
flour and mix the beer through this
until combined. Separate the petals
to coat thoroughly with batter.
4 Heat enough oil for deep-frying
on medium-high and deep-fry,
one onion at a time for about
3 minutes or until golden brown.
Drain on paper towels. Repeat
with the remaining onion.
5 For the sauce, combine all the
ingredients. Serve with the
onion blooms.
