I really do love having days off from work! it give me time to experiment in the kitchen and today I made a version of Outback Steakhouse's Blomming Onion. I found the recipe on Pinterest and decided it would be a great side from my sweet and spicy fried chicken and potato salad dinner, yep thursday night's dinner is a fry fest. It was a bit tricky to separate the 'petals' but I did the best I could without ruining the onion. The photos don't give much justice but I was thrilled with the result - it looked so pretty and it was yummy and chrunchy too! beats having to fry one onion ring at a time!
