Onion Fritters with Cilantro & Tomato Mayo

These onion fritters will make any onion ring lover happy. The only thing missing with these fritters when compared to an onion ring is when you bite into that ring and the onion slips out and you are left with the crisp hollowed out batter in your hand, lol. Still so delicious! These are best served nice and hot, so have whoever you are sharing them with close by. ;) 

• 1 onion, thinly sliced, I sliced them into half moon slices
• 1 slice of prosciutto, thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup flour
• 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
• 1/2 cup seltzer
• 1/4 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning *optional, add if you want a little kick in your fritters 
• 1/4 teaspoon Vegeta, or any other all purpose seasoning
• canola oil
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• a squeeze of 1/4 of a lime
• 1 small good tomato, finely chopped
• 1 heaping tablespoon finely chopped cilantro
• 3 Kalamata olives, minced
• a little Sriracha sauce

Combine the flour, cornstarch, Old Bay Seasoning and your all purpose seasoning. Slowly whisk in your seltzer. Once combined add in your sliced onions and prosciutto strips. Heat up your canola oil on low to medium heat until nice and hot. Once your oil is ready, take a tablespoonful of the onion mixture and place it into the hot oil. Flatten it out quickly, so it cooks evenly. Fry for 5 minutes per each side and drain on paper towels or paper bags. Work in batches and make your sauce in between. To make your sauce combine the mayonnaise, lime juice, tomato, cilantro. olives and Sriracha sauce. Serve with the cilantro and tomato mayo although these are great by themseleves! This makes about a dozen fritters. Enjoy!
