-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 lg Sweet onions -- unpeeled
1/2 c Mayonnaise
1/2 c Sour cream
1 tb Chili powder
2-1/2 ts Cajun seasons -- divided
1-1/4 c Flour
1 c Milk
Oil -- for deep-frying
Leaving the root end intact, peel the outer skin of the onion. Cut a
small slice off the top. Starting at the top of the onion and on one
side, make a cut downward toward the root end, stopping 1/2" from the
bottom. Make additional cuts 1/8" from the first until there are cuts
completely across top of onion. Turn the onion a quarter turn so the
slices are horizontal to you. Repeat the cuts 1/8" apart from each
other until there is a checkerboard pattern across entire top of
onion.
In a small bowl, make dip by combining mayonnaise, sour cream, chili
powder, and 1-1/2 ts Cajun seasoning. Mix well and set aside.
In a 1 gallon plastic bag, combine flour and remaining Cajun
seasoning. Place milk in a small bowl. Coat the cut onion in flour,
then dip into milk and back into the flour mixture. Fry in enough oil
to cover onion at 350°F for 5 minutes or until golden, turning once.
Remove from oil; place on serving plate. Discard the very center of
the fried onion blossom. Place a few poonfuls of dip into the center
of blossom and serve immediately.
