-
Create the Flour Mixture:
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, oregano, thyme, and cumin. Mix well to ensure even distribution of spices.
-
Prepare the Onion:
- Slice about 3/4″ to 1″ off the top and bottom of the onion, then remove the skin.
- Cut out a 1″ core from the top of the onion, then slice down about 3/4 of the way to create “petals.”
- Place the onion in boiling water for a few minutes to help separate the petals.
- Once slightly cooled, gently separate the onion petals to create the “blooming” effect.
-
Coat the Onion:
- Dip the onion into the prepared milk mixture, ensuring it is well coated.
- Next, dip the coated onion into the flour mixture, making sure to cover it liberally. Repeat this process for a thicker coating.
-
Chill the Onion:
- Place the coated onion in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes. This helps the coating set and adhere better during frying.
-
Fry the Blooming Onion:
- In a deep fryer or a large pot, heat vegetable oil to 350Β°F (180Β°C).
- Carefully lower the onion into the hot oil, right side up. Fry for approximately 10 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
-
Drain and Serve:
- Once fried to perfection, carefully remove the blooming onion from the oil and place it on a wire rack or paper towel to drain excess oil.
-
Prepare the Dipping Sauce:
- In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, ketchup, paprika, dried oregano, dried parsley, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Transfer the golden, crispy blooming onion to a serving plate.
- Serve warm with the prepared dipping sauce on the side for an irresistible combination of flavors.
