Crispy Onion Fritters

Ingredients
¾ cup (115 g) gluten-free all-purpose/plain almand flour
2 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon polenta – finely ground or cornmeal
2 teaspoon gluten-free baking powder
2 teaspoon coarse cooking sea salt – or to taste
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper – or to taste
¾ cup (180 ml) soy milk
2 ½ cups (350 g) brown/yellow onions – finely chopped, approximately 3 medium onions
2 green/spring onions
¼ cup oil (for frying, approximately) – I use extra virgin or grapeseed oil
Sweet Chilli Sauce or another sauce of your choice – to serve

Instructions
Finely chop your onions and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients to evenly distribute them.
Add the milk and stir well. You will have a thick batter.
Add the finely chopped onions and mix until well combined.
Add the oil to a large frying pan, and heat the oil over medium heat.I check that the oil is ready by using a simple method. I stick the end of a wooden spoon into the oil. If the oil is ready, it will bubble around the spoon.
Add tablespoons of the batter gently into the hot oil.To ensure that the patties are cooked in the centre it is important to flatten the batter with the back of a spatula or spoon.Cook for 2-3 minutes before turning and cooking the other side. Both sides should be golden brown and crispy.
Drain for a minute on paper towels and continue cooking the remainder.To keep the patties warm while cooking the rest, place the plate in a 100 degrees C (200 F) oven.Serve with Sweet Chilli Sauce or another condiment of your choice.

Ingredients:

  • ¾ cup (115 g) gluten-free all-purpose/almond flour
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon polenta – finely ground or cornmeal
  • 2 teaspoons gluten-free baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons coarse cooking sea salt – or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper – or to taste
  • ¾ cup (180 ml) soy milk
  • 2 ½ cups (350 g) brown/yellow onions – finely chopped, approximately 3 medium onions
  • 2 green/spring onions
  • ¼ cup oil (for frying, approximately) – Extra virgin or grapeseed oil works well
  • Sweet Chilli Sauce or another sauce of your choice – to serve

Instructions:

  1. Begin by finely chopping the brown/yellow onions and green/spring onions, setting them aside for later use.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose/almond flour, sugar, polenta (or finely ground cornmeal), gluten-free baking powder, coarse sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper until evenly distributed.
  3. Pour in the soy milk and stir well to form a thick batter consistency.
  4. Add the finely chopped onions to the batter and mix until well combined, ensuring the onions are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  5. In a large frying pan, heat the oil over medium heat until hot. You can check if the oil is ready by inserting the end of a wooden spoon into the oil – if it bubbles around the spoon, it’s ready for frying.
  6. Using a tablespoon, gently drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Use the back of a spatula or spoon to flatten the batter slightly, allowing for even cooking.
  7. Cook the fritters for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Use a spatula to carefully flip the fritters to ensure even cooking on both sides.
  8. Once cooked, remove the fritters from the oil and drain them on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
  9. If cooking in batches, keep the cooked fritters warm by placing them on a plate in a preheated oven set to 100°C (200°F) while you continue cooking the remainder.
  10. Serve the crispy onion fritters hot, accompanied by sweet chili sauce or your favorite condiment for dipping.
