Maui Onion Rings Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 150 degrees.
• Peel and slice the onions, paper thin, then separate them into rings. Toss with the flour to coat them.
• Heat the vegetable oil to 375 degrees in a deep saucepan or wok, and deep-fry the onion rings in several batches until they are golden. Drain them well, transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and place in the oven to keep warm.
• Season the scallops with salt and pepper. Heat half the olive oil until very hot in a 10-inch nonstick skillet. Add half the scallops and saute, turning them, for about 30 seconds until they are lightly seared. During the last few seconds of cooking, toss with half the basil and half the garlic. Remove the scallops to a warm dish and repeat with the remaining oil, scallops, basil and garlic.
• Divide the scallops among four warm plates, top each with a generous portion of the onion rings and serve at once.

Steps:

• Combine the buttermilk and hot sauce in a bowl with 2 teaspoons of Essence. Add the onion rings and toss to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, covered.
• Heat the oil in a large pot to 360°F.
• In a shallow bowl, combine the flour with 2 tablespoons of the Essence. Dredge the onions in the seasoned flour, coating each ring evenly. Shake off any excess flour and carefully place the rings in the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, turning to cook evenly and prevent sticking, about 3 minutes per batch. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels. Season the fried onion rings with Essence, and repeat with the remaining ingredients.
• Serve hot.
