Celebrating International Onion Day…with onion rings
November 27, 2007 at 12:13 am | In Challenge, cooking challenge | 8 CommentsTags: International Onion Day, onions, rings
As reported earlier on this blog, Monday November 26th was International Onion Day. Zorra, from
1Xumrühren bitte invited food bloggers to join her on this day by cooking a dish featuring this every day staple. I took her up on it and decided to make onion rings, but not the common heavily-battered ones. My favorite onion rings are the one found at the ribs restaurant chain, Tony Roma’s. I first came across this chain in Florida, then discovered they had a restaurant here in Vancouver. That is, until they closed it last year.
Tony Roma’s onion rings come in a loaf, served with their 
signature BBQ sauce. A look around the web unearthed a recipe very much the replica. I found out the key ingredient to these rings was pancake mix! Also, these rings are not just fried, but baked as well. I followed the recipe and pretty much came out with my own loaf of this classic side dish. I used President’s Choice Smokin’ Habanero Barbecue Sauce on the side. Hum…hum…Another keepsake for my recipe chest. Thanks for the challenge, Zorra!

Hmm, a Tony Roma copycat recipe
Very welcome here in Germany where we have a single TR restaurant for the whole country – and that is in Berlin, 550 km frome here…

I’ve never heard of this before, and it looks really good. Do you have a link for the recipe you used??

@Zorra: Thank you!
@Gabi: Wow…I’m surprised, considering the popularity of pork in Germany. I’ll love to see that restaurant.
@ Laurie: The recipe is linked at the word “recipe” in”A look around the web unearthed a recipe very…”
