Outback Steakhouse Bloomin Onion
Ingredients
Copykat Recipe
1/3 C. Cornstarch
1 1/2 C. Flour
2 tsp. Garlic -- minced
2 tsp. Paprika
1 tsp. Salt
2 tsp. Pepper
24 oz. Beer
4 Vidalia or Texas Sweet Onion
Please note that the 24 oz. of beer seems to be too much. That is the
recipe as originally given to me. If you use that quantity it will be
too much beer. Start with 1 cup of beer, and add until you get the
batter to the consistency that you desire.
Seasoned Flour
2 C. Flour
4 tsp. Paprika
2 tsp. Garlic powder
1/2 tsp. Pepper
1/2 Cayenne pepper
Combine and mix well.
Methods/steps
Mix cornstarch, flour, and seasonings until well blended. Add beer,
mix well. Cut about 3/4" off top of onion and peel. Cut into onion 12
to 16 vertical wedges but do not cut through bottom root end. Remove
about 1" of petals from center of onion. You may want to separate the
onion petals slightly, do not do this too much, you will destroy the
onion. Dip onion in seasoned flour removes excess by shaking.
Separate petals to coat thoroughly with batter. Dip in batter. Dip
in flour mixture again. Gently place in fryer basket and deep-fry at
375 to 400 1 1/2 minutes. Turn over, and fry an additional 1 1/2
minutes. Drain on paper towels. Place onion upright in shallow bowl
and remove center core with circular cutter or apple corer. Serve
hot with Creamy Chili Sauce.
