INSTRUCTIONS
(From Bon Appetit magazine)
Peel onion, leaving root end intact. Cut vertically into quarters to within
1/2 inch of root end. Cut each quarter vertically into thirds to form
"petals." Place onion in boiling water 1 minute, remove and place in ice
water 5 minutes. Loosen "petals" if necessary. Drain, cut side down. Place
flour in plastic bag. Place cracker crumbs in another plastic bag. Add
onion, shaking to coat. Refrigerate 1 hour. Pour vegetable oil into heavy
pan to depth of 3 inches. Heat to 375 degrees. Fry onion 5 to 7 minutes or
until golden brown. Drain on paper towel. Sprinkle with salt, if desired.
To eat, pull off "petals" and dip them in dark honey mustard or ranch style
dressing.
