Wonderful DIY Blooming Onion

Blooming Onion is an appetizer served at some restaurants. It consists of one large fried Vidalia onion which is cut to resemble a flower. It tastes delicious and makes a fantastic party centerpiece.
I love onions. Onions are good in a salad, a sammie, sautéed, raw and especially barbequed. This is a new way to enjoy this tear-jerking underground veggie: deep fried. This tasty treat is a great snack to share next time you have guests, and the variety of spices and dips that can be added are endless!

Ingredients

2 cups vegetable oil
1 giant onion, the larger, the better
1-2 eggs, depending on the size of the onion, cracked and mixed
1 cup flour – put some hot water into it, season it with pepper, paprika, oregano, thyme and cumin, chili, and any spices you prefer; stir everything thoroughly

CAUTION:
This project deals with very hot oil and may be dangerous for some. Always wear appropriate clothing and use safe cooking techniques.
