Onion Straws

Creamy Garlic Parmesan Sauce

Method

Onion Straws Preparation

  1. 1

    Slice the Onions

    Peel the large onions and slice them into thin straws using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Gradually add the cold water, whisking until you achieve a smooth batter.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large, deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    Batter the Onion Straws

    Dip the sliced onion straws into the batter, ensuring they are evenly coated.

  5. 5

    Fry the Onion Straws

    Carefully drop the battered onion straws into the hot oil in small batches. Fry them for 2-3 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Creamy Garlic Parmesan Sauce Preparation

  1. 6

    Combine Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sour cream, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  2. 7

    Chill the Sauce

    Cover the sauce and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
