Recipe: 'Fried' (dehydrated) onion rings























We found this recipe in a raw food website and thought we would try it. It definitely needs improving. Perhaps the onions ought to be sautéed first…?


"Fried" Onion Rings
Preparation time: long; drying time: 14 hours


Ingredients:

1 large sweet or spanish onion cut into thick rings and slightly cooked and dried

1st coating in a bowl

4 tbs. olive oil
2 tbs. water
Sea salt to taste


2nd coating in a separate bowl

1 cup ground golden flax seeds
1/2 cup ground unsoaked almonds (or 2 tbsp nutritional yeast)
1-2 tsp. paprika/could also try 1/4 cup soy sauce
Sea salt and pepper to season

How to: 

Take each onion ring, eliminate the outer slimey skin, dip it into the 2nd coating, then into the 1st coating and then back into the 2nd coating. Your goal is to get as much of the 2nd coating as possible. This will not work if you make them wet first. 

Once you have achieved that, gently take the the coated onion rings and put them on dehydrator trays (without teflex sheets) and dehydrate the rings for about 10-14 hrs at 40 degrees C or until crispy. Serve them with a tangy dipping sauce.

Tangy Dipping Sauce

1 cup macadamia nuts (soaked for 2-4 hrs)
1/2 cup pine nuts
1-2 tbs. lemon juice
2 tbs. soaked sun dried tomatoes
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
Sea salt to taste

Add everything in heavy duty food processor or a high speed blender and process or blend till smooth and creamy. Add a little water if needed. Scoop out the mixture into a bowl and garnish it with chopped cilantro and diced red bell pepper. Serve aside warm onion rings.

PS The rings on the dehydrator tray are ready for the dehydrator.
The taste after the dehydrating wasn't sensational...

    Well! I made them....gave them all the time etc and Kim and I ate them all. My husband and my son didn't like them much. Hmmmmmmm.

    All that flax seed gets a bit in your way of chewing....I think that I'll need to change the coating. Maybe maize.....or raw bread crumbs, ground!!!

How to heal from Paronychia (bacterial nail infection) with herbs!

How a friend healed from Paronychia  (bacterial nail infection) with herbs! About a week ago I went to my local supermarket and I noticed that the till assistant had a sling on his bandaged middle finger. I am curious by nature , so I couldn't help asking him what happened to his finger. Carl, that was his name, promptly showed me and my daughter his finger (after taking off bandage and sling of course). To have an idea of what it looked like, have a look at Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paronychia It looks painful, doesn't it? He said that when he was watching a football on TV, he didn't realise that his nail-biting had gone a bit over the limit, and he had torn some flesh. His doctor was about to see him in two days, he reassured me, and he probably expected to be given antibiotics to treat the infection. Not happy with what I saw, I suggested a few herbs that could help him earlier than his G.P. appointment. However, once I got hom

Growing crops in a commercial size polytunnel - and fighting rabbits! (video included)

Growing crops in a commercial size polytunnel I'm having great fun in my 12.5 mt long polytunnel. Not only I get to see my plants thrive in almost 39C during sunny days, but I fight some cute rabbits every day as they dig under the doors and destroy my cauliflower and boccoli plants! I'm not a professional gardener or photographer, but I hope you will enjoy my basic photos of plant life in the hottest spot of my garden. You will also see that we captured a baby rabbit who was guilty of untold damage and a then we released it (he was sooo cuddly!)  But 2 weeks later, we caught him again and this time we released it in a park nearby (full of other rabbits, water etc) so he can eat plenty of produce - just not ours! A video is available on the bottom of this page. The first night we moved the strawberries outdoors, they were not protected, and the morning after the rabbits had eaten most of the plants - leaves and all! Needless to say, we rushed to build a protected U-shap
