Onion Ring LeeksINGREDIENTS

  • 1 leek, cut into thick strips
  • ⅓ cup buttermilk
  • ½ cup unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons cornmeal
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • Canola oil for frying

PROCEDURE

Leave the leeks to soak for 15 minutes in the buttermilk. Meanwhile, mix together the flour, cornmeal, and salt.  Fill a cast iron skillet with 1 inch of canola oil, and heat it to 375°F.

Allow the excess buttermilk to drip away, and dredge the leeks, individually, in the flour mixture.  Fry in small batches until crisp and golden brown, from 1 to 3 minutes.  Drain on paper towels, and sprinkle with extra salt.
