Ingredients
Vegetable or canola oil, for deep-frying
4 large white onions
8 ounces sliced mozzarella
8 ounces sliced pepperoni
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon garlic powder
One 12-ounce bottle beer
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup shredded Parmesan
1 cup your favorite marinara sauce, for dipping
Directions
- Fill a large a large Dutch oven or deep fryer with 3 inches of oil. Heat the oil to 350 degrees F.
- Cut the onions crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices and separate into rings. Using 2 rings that will fit inside one another, sandwich a slice of cheese and a slice of pepperoni between the rings and press together. Repeat.
- Place 1/2 cup of the flour in a shallow dish. In a large bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 1/2 cups flour and the Italian seasoning and garlic powder. Slowly whisk in enough beer to produce the consistency of a thick pancake batter. Season with salt and pepper. Let rest for 5 minutes.
- Gently dredge the stuffed onion rings in the flour and then dip in the batter. Fry in batches until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and Parmesan.
- Serve immediately, with marinara sauce on the side.
