Beer-battered mesquite onion rings
Alcoholic beverages
When I first encountered mesquite flour, its smoky nutty scent gave me the idea for these onion rings. My husband and I are working on starting a pub, so I'd been looking for a way to make a unique deep-fried menu item. Mesquite flour is made from the ground pods of the Mesquite tree and has a strong nutty flavor and beautiful deep orange color. It's also naturally gluten-free. <br /> <br />When choosing your gluten-free beer, go for either Estrella Damm Daura or Lakefront Brewery's New Grist Sorghum Beer. Daura will lend the most beer flavor, while the sorghum in New Grist highlights the sweetness in the mesquite flour. I like sweet Walla Walla onions best in this recipe, but regular yellow onions work quite well. Make sure you choose a round and uniformly-shaped onion for the most aesthetically pleasing results. If they're around long enough to be admired, that is.
