I’ve looked all over for recipes for raw onion rings…a healthy version of the fried onion rings I used to love. I couldn’t find any that came close to creating the batter goodness and crispy texture, so I had a bit of a think and came up with my own.
Terry’s AWESOME Onion Rings!
You’ll need:
1 large onion
Sunflower seed cheese/dip
Ground Flaxseed
Ground sunflower seeds
Sea salt
To prepare…
Sunflower Seed cheese/dip:
1 cup sunflower seeds
1-2 cloves garlic
Sea salt - pinch or two
Nutritional yeast - to taste (not raw, but good!)
Enough water to get the stuff going
Put all ingredients in blender and add water as needed to keep it moving. You want the mixture to be thick. Set aside or put in fridge.
THEN…
Slice onion and separate rings. Pour the sunflower seed cheese over the rings and use your hands to make sure all the rings are covered.
Grind the flax seeds and sunflower seeds in a coffee grinder, food processor or Vita-Mix. Mix them together and add the sea salt to the mixture. Sprinkle the ground seeds over the coated onion rings until they are thoroughly covered.
Place onion rings in dehydrator and dehydrate till the onions are the texture you like. I like mine still kinda moist.
I’ve found this comes closest to the fried onion ring texture than some of the other recipes I’ve seen.
Enjoy!
