Total Time: 25 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 6
• 6 small onions
• creole seasoning or cajun spices

Recipe

• 1 take a small to medium onion and cut the top off (about 1/4th of the onion).
• 2 peel away the outer skin but leave the root on.
• 3 with a knife cut wedge shapes in it.
• 4 but here's the trick -- take two wooden cooking spoons and rest the onion between them root down.
• 5 now slice wedges into the onion as you would cut a pizza.
• 6 doing this keeps the onion together at the base therefore allowing a bloomin onion result.
• 7 gently (with a knife) separate the sections from one another.
• 8 fry each one for a minute or so (depends on the size of the onion).
• 9 these small onions will open up quickly and cook quickly so please understand this takes a little practice.
• 10 once its bloomin take it out of the grease and season it lightly with creole seasoning or cajun spice.
• 11 you could also add remolade or rosette sauce on top to finish it.
• 12 variation: you can also batter them by mixing 1 cup of bisquick and 1/2 cup of cornstarch in 2 cups of milk.
• 13 make a paste first with a little milk before adding all the milk.
• 14 soak the onions for about 30 minutes then dust them with flour and seasoning.
• 15 open the onion a little as you do it.
• 16 let the onions sit at least 5 minutes before frying.
