fried onion

These are a great garnish for a steak, good on a sandwich, atop a salad or by themselves with some sauce for dipping them in. The recipe is very simple, only 4 ingredients, and fairly quick. The only hassle is the oil but you can use it several times before disposing of it. the recipe follows;

(first mix these together and place in the fridge)
1 yellow onion (julienned)
a few pinches of salt

(you'll use these next)
.5 cup self rising flour
fry-daddy or pot with 2 inches of vegetable oil (heated to 350°)
salt and pepper

You want to salt the onions at least 4 hours in advance, preferable a whole day. When you are ready to start preheat the oil to 350° and toss the onion in the flour. Place the onion in the oil, making sure not to crowd the pan, and fry until golden brown and crispy.
