Low Carb Deep-fried Onion Rings
Recipe courtesy George Stella

Ingredients
3 to 6 cups vegetable oil (more or less depending on pot size)
3 eggs
1/4 cup heavy cream or water
3 large yellow onions

Breading:
2 1/3 cups soy flour
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning

Instructions
Place a heavy pot over medium-high heat with at least an inch of
vegetable oil. Heat oil to 350 degrees F; it is important to monitor and maintain the temperature,

or the soy flour breading and your oil will burn. (Portable deep fryers at home are great for
this.)

In a medium bowl, mix the eggs and cream to make an egg wash. In a separate larger bowl, mix the
breading ingredients together.

Peel and slice the onions in thick slices and carefully separate the rings. Then dip individual
onion rings in the breading, then the egg wash, and then back in the breading again, making sure to
coat well. Pat off any excess breading and carefully place into hot oil, in batches as necessary,
and fry until golden brown and crisp, just 1 to 2 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Serve
immediately

Cook's Note: Soy flour is made from toasted soybeans and has already been "cooked."
Therefore it has a tendency to brown faster than plain flour when frying.

Hint: Try this same breading for baked pork chops, okra, mozzarella sticks, mushrooms, chicken, and
eggplant.
