Yes - you wont be without this little cheap fellow in your kitchen.
All you need is:
white onions
milk
fine polenta flour
regular flour
sea salt and black pepper
you could add herbs as well
sunflower oil for frying
Cut the onions in thin slices. Bring some milk to the boil and blanch the onions in the milk. Once back to the boil, remove from heat and leave to cool in the milk and until you are ready to fry. This can easily be done well in advance.
In a tray mix half polenta and regular flour. Season and add finely chopped herbs, if using.
In a medium pan with low sides, heat about 5 cm of sunflower oil.
Lift out some of the onions from the milk and turn in the polenta mix. Coat well and shake of excess. Now fry until golden and crispy - do this in batches, so the temperature of the oil doesn't drop.
Once cooked lift out of the onions and place on kitchen paper to remove excess oil. Season with salt and EAT right away......
