DIPPING SAUCE

From: Tracy Fruge <tracy@...> Date: Tue, 9 Jul 1996 13:23:48 -0500 Select a well rounded onion, and peel outer layer skin off. Leave root in tact, but cut off any hanging roots. Using a small Harp knife, divide the onion in 4 sections by making 2 cuts crosswise, beginning at the top and cutting toward the root, stopping about ½ inch away.

Cut each section twice. Place onion in enough boiling water to cover it and leave it for 5 min. The sections or "petals" will begin to open. Remove it from hot water and place in ice water, covering, to help the opening.

Drain well by placing upside down on paper towels. Put flour in a bag(paper) , add onion, and shake gently to cover. Roll floured onion in egg to cover then put crumbs in a paper bag and shake to coat. Refrigerate for 1 hour before frying in oil till golden brown.
