Onion Rose
Description
Perfect with the table and drinks. An onion rose is certainly not sandwiches with red caviar, but it is still a very tasty appetizer that looks especially good at picnics and goes well with, for example, shashlik. The cost of the appetizer is minimal, yet it turns out not only original but also delicious—the onion releases all its bitterness and becomes slightly sweet. In short, the onion rose is another original culinary idea for your collection :) The appetizer is ready. Serve immediately.

Step 1
First, peel the onion. It’s very important not to cut off the onion root too deeply — the root keeps our onion rose from falling apart while sautéing. If you cut the root too deeply, the onion will fall apart.

Step 2
At a sharp angle, make cuts on the onion bulb to form petals. See the photo for reference.

Step 3
In my opinion, the optimal number of petals is 5 or 6, depending on the size of the onion bulb. That way, the onion rose won’t fall apart.

Remove the fried onion roses from the oil with a slotted spoon, place them on a paper towel (to absorb excess fat), then transfer to plates and serve as an appetizer.
