--------  ------------  --------------------------------
    3/4   c            Plus 2 tb beer (not dark)
  1       c            All-purpose flour
    3/4   c            Finely chopped fresh parsley
    3/4   ts           Salt plus additional for

                       Salsa Verde for dipping
                       -(optional)

 In a bowl, whisk beer into flour until batter is
 smooth and whisk in parsley. Let batter stand 30
 minutes and stir in 3/4 ts salt.

 Cut onion crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices and
 separate slices into rings.

 In a large, deep skillet, heat 1 inch oil to 380 deg
 F. Working in batches of 4 or 5 onion rings, drag
 rings through batter to coat completely, letting
 excess drip off, and fry, turning, until golden, about
 1 to 2 minutes. With tongs, transfer rings as fried to
 paper towels to drain and season with additional salt.

 Serve onion rings with Salsa Verde.
