Burgers and Rings

[RG]

I do a lot of cooking but my wife has gotten into our hobby and I am a LUCKY man! She can cook anything I can and more. She loves to grill and smoke so THAT is the ULTIMATE Lazy Q, lol. I won't bore you with the on the Keg pics of this but rather will show you the end result. I fresh ground a chuck roast and added a little angus brisket fat (it was a lean roast and needed the help). Kosher salt, fresh cracked pepper and a hot grill = MAGIC!



Oh yeah, her onion rings are the best I've ever eaten, period!

That looks really good, can you tell the secret for your wife's onion rings?

Thanks Greg

I was able to pry the onion ring recipe from her

Vidalia or similar onion sliced to desired thickness
1 1/2c seasoned flour ( I use Kentucky Kernal)
1/2c AP flour
 
3 eggs
1c milk
1 tbs white vinegar
 
Whisk together liquid ingredients. This is gonna be a double dip kind of scenario. Slice your rings, dip them in the liquid, then the flour, then the liquid, then the flour. Deep frying is best and at 375.  You might want to taste the first one to make sure the salt is not too much or too little. I think I added about a teaspoon of salt to my flour.

When you make them, and people rave about them, be sure to say that you got the recipe from Mrs. RG (it was part of the deal)!

Thanks to Mrs. RG!  That's a great looking ring recipe!

They look great. What is seasoned flour?

It's flour that is seasoned with various spices. Really good on chicken, potato wedges, all things fried.

[Barrel99]

Never saw that flour before. I'll look for it. Thanks.

One question about the seasoned flour, Jason - does it have MSG in it?  I can't use anything with MSG - triggers big migraines in the wife.    So many things like this have it.

[RG]

I'll look into it for you.  I've read a fair amount about msg and there is overwhelming evidence that the symptoms from it are psychosomatic. Please don't take that as an insult,  I am not saying that your wife is crazy or making it up,  I just find it fascinating.

Just looked it up, it's in there unfortunately

[DivotMaker]

Thanks Jason.  Trust me - it's not psycho-somatic for a good number of migraine sufferers.  My wife has had them all her life, and once she started keeping a food diary, she found her triggers.  If I accidentally cook something with "hidden" MSG, she has one within an hour!  Usually don't find it until after she gets one.  BUT - my son and I can eat those great-looking onion rings until the cows come home!

Apparently is does contain MSG. But it is the last ingredient so it may not be much.
