Recipe for Cotton's Onion Rings

Ingredients:
Bermuda Red Onions
Cup of white flour
1 Tablespoon paprika
1 Teaspoon salt
buttermilk
oil for frying

Peel and slice your onions into rings.  Place the flour, paprika and salt in a paper bag.  Did the onion rings in buttermilk, then place them in the bag and shake till coated.  Fry in deep, hot fat.

This is a recipe from Oliver "Cotton" Blanchard, who was  chef at the Elk's Club in Plaquemine, La.  Try this recipe.  I think the red onions make a better onion ring.  You may  also use large white onions.

Eating and Living WELL

(Family Features) - For years, Chef Wolfgang Puck has been an inspiration to home cooks across the country, teaching them how to create contemporary American dishes by mixing formal French techniques with Asian and California influences. At the center of Chef Puck's inspiration is his WELL (Wolfgang's Eat, Love, Live) philosophy, which means using food made with humanely treated, natural, organic and seasonal ingredients when available.

To help bring the WELL philosophy to your own kitchen, Chef Puck has simplified some of his signature recipes, like Chicken with Chardonnay and Fresh Herbs and the creamy and satisfying Hearty Potato and Cheddar Soup. These recipes make it a cinch to channel your inner chef and indulge your culinary passion.

The Organic Center's Tips for Going Organic

Chef Puck encourages people to participate in The Organic Center's Mission Organic 2010 program, which recommends purchasing at least one organic food item out of every 10 food items whenever you shop.

Other small changes that can have a big impact are:

  • Shop in season: seasonal produce provides the best flavor and tends to be less expensive.
  • Buy in bulk: organic grains, cereal and pasta are much more affordable this way.
  • Upgrade your snacks: think dried fruits and nuts to satisfy your cravings.
