These dices are perfect to make for any entrée! As delicious and crispy as onion rings but even cooler.
Ingredients:
- 3 onions, medium
- 400 g of cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 cups of breadcrumbs
- 1 cup of flour, sifted
- ¼ cup of cornstarch, sifted
- 2 cups of beer
- 1 egg, whisked
- 2 tbsp of garlic powder
- A pinch of salt
- A pinch of black pepper
- Oil for frying
Instructions:
- Cut the onions into medium size dices. Don’t worry if you end with different sizes as all of them are going to be combined with the cheese.
- In a large bowl, mix the flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, salt
and black pepper. - Add in the beer and whisked
egg into the bowl. Stir the mixture until completely combined. Set aside to use in a bit. - In another bowl, mix together the onion pieces and shredded cheese. You can use more than one kind of cheese if you want.
- Take about 1 tbsp of onion and cheddar mixture and press them forming a cube.
- Place your cubes in a tray and refrigerate them for at least 20 minutes before frying them. This will help to keep their shape. If you don’t want to wait, I recommend doing balls instead of dices.
- Prepare two bowls, one with the flour mixture and the second with breadcrumbs.
- In a deep pot, add the oil for frying.
- Take each onion dice and dip it first into the flour mixture and then into the breadcrumbs. Make sure to cover them completely.
- Fry until golden brown. Don’t fry more than 5 at a time or they will cool down the oil and you won’t get them as crispy.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauces.
