Today I am visiting with my friend "Debbie" ( names have been changed so I won't get a frying pan up side the head). I am helping her decided what dress to wear to a Christmas party in 10days. We pick out a cute soft pink cocktail dress from her closet. Beautiful, unfortunately Debbie has been eating her way to fame and fortune( none of which have come yet). Attempting to zip the dress is "interesting" there is a 1-2 inch gap due to over ridge (read fat). She declares she is on an immediate diet, BUT by the way could she come to my house this weekend for dinner, and how about some Onion Rings? ( mama mia!)
Good Luck getting into that dress, Vegas odds -10 days- No way!
However for anyone who enjoys Onion Rings and does not want to go through the mess of frying , here is a delicious healthy alternative: Oven Fried Onion Rings;
Olive Oil for the baking sheets, 2 large Spanish onions, 4 egg whites, lightly beaten, 1tbsp olive oil, 1/2 c Parmesan cheese, 1 c Italian style breadcrumbs, salt and pepper to taste. Oven 400" Lightly oil a rimmed baking sheet. Cut onions into 1/2 inch thick slices, separate the slices into rings. In a shallow bowl, mix the egg whites, and oil. In another bowl place the cheese, the third bowl the breadcrumbs.One by one, dip the rings into the egg whites, then the cheese, then the crumbs. Transfer to baking sheets. Bake 15-20 mins. turning several times, or until golden. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Serve at once. Enjoy!
