Tobacco onions are deep-fried crispy onion slices that have been seasoned with cayenne pepper for a darker color. There is no tobacco involved! They're served on burgers or with steak in lots of English and Irish pubs. They are also delicious on top of salads and soups.
Ingredients
- 2 cups vegetable oil or as needed
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper or to taste
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 large Spanish onion , thinly sliced into rings
Instructions
-
1
Heat oil in a deep fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
-
2
Mix flour, cayenne pepper, and salt in a large bowl until combined; add onion slices and toss until well coated.
-
3
Shake off any excess coating and lower onion slices, working in batches, carefully into hot oil. Fry until golden and tobacco-colored, about 3 to 5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer onion slices onto a paper towel-lined plate to drain and crisp up.

Roasted Pork Bánh Mì (Vietnamese Sandwich)
Bánh mì sandwiches are delicious. I'll never forget my first real bánh mì. I remember thinking to myself, this isn't just one of the best sandwiches I've ever had to eat, but one of the best things, period. Not only do we get amazing contrasts in flavor and texture, but also the temperature difference between the crisp, warm, meat-filled roll, and cool, crunchy vegetables makes this so much fun to eat.
