APPLEBEE’S ONION PEELS

    MENU DESCRIPTION: “Crisp-fried tender onion strips served with a creamy horseradish dipping sauce.”
     
    This signature appetizer from Applebee’s is the chain’s reaction to overwhelming success of Outback’s Bloomin’ Onion and Chili’s Awesome Blossom. But, while accurate kitchen cloning of a Bloomin’ Onion requires a special slicing device, cloning Onion Peels requires only the most basic kitchen prep and tools: Slice the onion, separate the slices, dip the slices in batter and fry. Just remember to make the essential horseradish dipping sauce in advance so that the ingredients can mingle and really get to know one another as they chill out in the fridge.
