INGREDIENTS

The Batter

1 cup flour
½ cup cornstarch
1 tsp. paprika
1 tsp. chile powder
1 tsp. salt
1 cup beer, ice cold
2 large onions, cut into ½ inch rings
Capatriti® 100% Pure Olive Oil, for frying

The EVOO BBQ Sauce

2 tbsp. Capatriti® Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 cups ketchup
¼ cup apple cider vinegar
¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
¼ cup brown sugar
2 tbsp. Dijon mustard
1 tbsp. hot sauce
1 tsp. pepper
2 tsp. garlic powder
2 tsp. onion powder

Directions

In a medium pot, mix together all the bbq sauce ingredients and bring to a mild simmer. Maintain this heat for approx. 10 minutes, stirring constantly. Transfer into a jar and let cool.

Lay onion rings on a flat surface (Be sure to remove all of the membrane between layers of onion.)

Combine flour, cornstarch, baking soda, paprika, chile powder and salt in a mixing bowl. While on low, slowly pour in the beer until fully combined.

Heat Capatriti® 100% Pure Olive Oil to 375°. Coat each onion in batter and slowly lower into the olive oil. Fry until golden brown, approx. 4 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack before serving with EVOO BBQ sauce. Share.
