Ingredients

Chipotle ketchup

  • 1 teaspoon chipotle
  • ¼ cup ketchup

Onion rings

  • oil for frying
  • 1 cup beer
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 sweet white onion sliced ¼ inch thick, rings separated
  • ½ cup finely grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Make the chipotle ketchup by whisking together the pureed chipotle with ketchup. Set aside.
  • Preheat frying oil to 375 degrees.
  • Prepare the batter by whisking together beer with flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Dip the sliced onion rings into the batter, making sure to evenly coat the onion. Carefully add to the heated oil. Fry until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Remove from oil and drain on paper towel lined plate. Immediately sprinkle parmesan on the onion rings. Repeat with remaining onion. Serve with chipotle ketchup.

Notes

Use full-flavored lager or pilsner for the beer batter. These beers will give the onions a rich beer flavor while creating an airy crisp batter.
The chipotle ketchup can be made up to 1 week in advance.
