Recipe: Deep Fried Spring Onions

We made these for a party recently and were a big hit. The batter is a simple beer batter.

1 . Cut and trim 1 to 2 pounds of spring onions. You’ll want to trim the tops off where it gets really green.

2. Cut each onion in half and soak in buttermilk over night, then drain.

3. Take two large bowls. In bowl one add one cup of flour plus 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and 1/4 teaspoon paprika. in the second bowl one cup of flour plus 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and 1/4 teaspoon paprika again plus 1 bottle of Stone Pale Ale and mix.

4. You’ll need a large pan with peanut oil heated to 375 degrees.

5. Dredge each onion half in the dry flour then the beer batter.

6. Fry until crispy brown then remove and salt immediately with fine sea salt.
