BLOOMIN' ONION DIPPING SAUCE
Snagged this recipe from a copycat cookbook I saw at BJ's. I had to keep repeating it in my head over and over again on the way home. Well worth the mental effort, though. Not only is it good for the onions, but it makes a great sandwich spread, especially on turkey breast.

DEEP FRIED ONION RINGS WITH DIPPING SAUCE
These homemade onion rings are better than anything you'd find in the frozen food aisle. Fried until golden brown, they are delicious. The onions are warm and sweet with a fantastic crunch from the Panko. Creamy, tangy and spicy, the dipping sauce is the perfect complement.

Steps:
- 1. Using a nice sharp knife cut onions half an inch thick. Remove all outer brown layers, then carefully separate the rings. (You can save the tiny center rings for your other dishes.) Put rings in a bowl and pour buttermilk over them, then cover and let sit in the fridge for an hour.
- 2. Mix together all 8 ingredients for the dipping sauce in a bowl and stir until it's nice and creamy. Cover and put in the fridge until it's time to serve.
- 3. Now you will make your dredging station. First, combine the 1 cup of flour and next 6 dry ingredients, down to the salt and pepper, and whisk them together. Using your whisk, add beer to the mixture until it is the consistency of heavy cream. It will not need the entire can of beer. It's okay to have some lumps. Now add olive oil and set aside while you prepare the rest of your dredging station.
- 4. Put the 1 1/2 cups of flour in a pie pan or large soup bowl. In another pie pan or large soup bowl, combine Panko bread crumbs, garlic powder, and salt. Toss to combine with a fork. Now you are ready to start dredging your onion rings.
- 5. Now set up your dredging station. You need a wire cooling rack placed over a cookie sheet to put your onions once you have dredged them. First, you want your dish of flour next to your beer batter. Then your panko bread crumb mixture. Put your wire rack next to it. Set up your frying station so that your oil can start heating. You need it to come to 375 degrees before you put any of your onion rings in. You want to hold the heat at 375. It takes a little while to reach 375.
- 6. Take out the bowl with the onions in buttermilk, drop 2 or 3 onion rings into the flour and evenly dust them with flour; shake off excess. Then drop them in the beer batter and evenly coat them; shake off excess. Now drop them into the panko bread crumb mixture and evenly coat. Place on the rack to rest while you dredge more onions.
- 7. When your oil reaches 375 gently drop a few of your coated onions into the oil, being very careful not to splash any of the oil. DO NOT overfill your fryer or they will stick together. I turn them over every couple minutes until they are a nice golden brown. You can continue to dredge your other onions while your first batch is frying. When they reach the desired doneness, lift them from the oil and put on a paper towel lined plate. You can put them in the oven on the keep warm setting (if you don't have that heat the oven then turn it off, you don't want it too hot).
- 8. Serve with dipping sauce and enjoy! You know you have a perfect onion ring if when you bite into it the onion does not pull out of the coating. I know it sounds like a lot of work but really it goes together fairly easy, and darn they taste so good! Your family and friends will love them, now sit back and enjoy.
BLOOMING ONION AND DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:
- To make sauce: In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, horseradish, 1/3 teaspoon paprika, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon oregano, a dash ground black pepper and cayenne pepper; mix well. Keep sauce covered in refrigerator until needed.
- To make the batter: In a medium bowl, beat egg and add milk. In a separate bowl, combine flour, salt, cayenne pepper, paprika, ground black pepper, oregano, thyme and cumin; mix.
- To slice onion: slice 1 inch off of the top and bottom of the onion and remove the papery skin. Use a thin knife to cut a 1 inch diameter core out of the middle of the onion. Now use a very sharp, large knife to slice the onion several times down the center to create 'petals': First slice through the center of the onion to about three-fourths of the way down. Turn the onion 90 degrees and slice it again in an X across the first slice. Keep slicing the sections in half, very carefully until the onion has been cut 16 times. Do not cut down to the bottom of the onion. (The last 8 slices will be difficult, be careful).
- Spread the 'petals' of the onion apart. To help keep them separate you could plunge the onion into boiling water for 1 minute and then into cold water.
- Dip the onion into the milk mixture and then coat it liberally with the flour mixture. Again separate the petals and sprinkle the dry coating between them. Once you're sure the onion is well-coated, dip it back into the wet mixture and into the dry coating again. This double-dipping ensures you have a well-coated onion because some of the coating will wash off when you fry the onion.
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or deep pot to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Make sure you use enough oil to completely cover the onion when it fries.
- Fry the onion right side up in the oil for 10 minutes or until it turns brown. When the onion has browned, remove it from the oil and let it drain on a rack or paper towels. Open the onion wider from the center so that you can put a small dish of the dipping sauce in the center.

Tips:
- For perfectly crispy onion rings, use a combination of all-purpose flour and cornstarch in your batter. The cornstarch will help to create a light and airy texture.
- To ensure that your onion rings are evenly coated, dip them in the batter twice. This will help to create a thick, flavorful coating.
- If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
- For a spicy dipping sauce, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, chopped jalapeños, and cayenne pepper. You can also add a squeeze of lime juice for extra flavor.
- Serve the onion rings immediately after they are fried. They are best when hot and crispy.
Conclusion:
Caribbean lime onion rings are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. With their crispy coating, flavorful dipping sauce, and zesty lime flavor, they are sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering. So next time you're looking for a tasty treat, give these onion rings a try!
