Pina Colada Onion Rings Recipe

Pina Colada Onion Rings Recipe

  • 3 large egg whites, lightly beaten
  • 1 1/2 cups prepared frozen BACARDI® Mixers Pina Colada
  • 1 3/4 cups well-shaken low-fat buttermilk
  • 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour for dredging
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 3 large red onions, cut crosswise into 1/3-inch-thick slices
  • 1 liter olive oil
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Whisk together eggs, BACARDI(R) Mixers Pina Colada mix, buttermilk, flour, salt and cayenne until smooth. Place the flour for dredging in a separate bowl.
  2. Heat 1-inch of oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking. Working in batches of 4 or 5, dredge onion slices in flour and dip rings into batter, letting excess drip off.
  3. Cook in skillet until golden brown, about one minute per side.
  4. Transfer browned rings to a baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes, turning once, until crisp.
  5. Remove from oven and let sit for 2-3 minutes to cool. Salt to taste and serve with ketchup or your favorite dipping sauce.
