     Title: Outback Steakhouse Bloomin' Onion
Categories: Vegetables, Chilies, Beer
     Yield: 4 servings

   1/3 c  Cornstarch
     2 ts Minced garlic
     1 ts Salt
 3 1/2 c  A-P flour; divided use
     2 tb Paprika; divided use
 2 1/2 ts Ground black pepper; divided
          - use
    12 oz Beer
     2 ts Garlic powder
   1/2 ts Cayenne pepper
     4 lg Sweet onions
          Bloomin' Onion Sauce or
          - Creamy Chili Sauce; to
          - serve

 To make the batter, combine the cornstarch, minced
 garlic, and salt with 1 1/2 cups of flour, 2 teaspoons
 of paprika, and 2 teaspoons of ground black pepper. Mix
 well. Add the beer and mix to combine.

 To make the seasoned flour, combine the garlic powder
 and cayenne pepper with 2 cups of flour, 4 teaspoons of
 paprika, and 1/2 teaspoon of ground black pepper. Mix
 well.

 Cut about 3/4" off the top of the onions and peel them.
 Cut each onion into 12 to 16 vertical wedges, but do not
 cut through the bottom root end. Remove about 1 inch of
 petals from the center of the onion. You may want to
 separate the onion petals slightly, but do not do this
 too much or you will destroy the onion.

 Dip the onions into the seasoned flour and shake off the
 excess. Dip the onions into the batter, separating the
 petals to ensure they are thoroughly coated. Then dip
 the onions into the seasoned flour again.

 Heat the oil in a deep fryer to 375oF to 400oF. Gently
 place the onions into the fryer basket and deep-fry for
 1 1/2 minutes on each side. Remove the onions from the
 fryer and drain on paper towels.

 To serve, place the onion upright in a shallow bowl and
 remove the center core with a circular cutter or apple
 corer. Serve hot with Bloomin' Onion Sauce or Creamy
 Chili Sauce.
