Onion Rings

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the pecan wood bacon until crispy. Remove from skillet, drain on paper towels, and chop into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Prep the Onion Rings

    Slice the onion into thick rings. Set up a breading station with flour, milk, and breadcrumbs in separate bowls. Dip each onion ring into flour, then milk, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.

Frying Onion Rings

  1. 3

    Fry the Onion Rings

    Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded onion rings in batches. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Grilling Lettuce

  1. 4

    Prepare the Lettuce

    Cut the iceberg lettuce into quarters, leaving the core intact. Brush the cut sides lightly with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

  2. 5

    Grill the Lettuce

    Preheat a grill to medium heat. Place the lettuce quarters cut-side down on the grill. Grill for about 2-3 minutes, until charred and slightly wilted. Flip and grill for another 1-2 minutes.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Assemble the Grilled Wedge

    Place the grilled lettuce on a serving platter. Top with chopped bacon, bleu cheese crumbles, and halved cherry tomatoes. Finish with fried onion rings on top for crunch.
