Like most individuals, I really like a very good parm, be it eggplant or hen. (I’m certain veal parm additionally tastes good, however I’ve by no means had it.) However making a parm can be a little bit of an ordeal, notably eggplant perm. Although I make mine with none breading, it nonetheless requires salting and baking in an excessively beneficiant quantity of oil. That’s why, although I’ll by no means abandon eggplant parm, after I want a fast, mid-day parm repair, I attain for a bag of frozen onion rings.
Onion rings aren’t the one non-eggplant vegetable that takes properly to parming—The Kitchn is a giant fan of asparagus parm—nevertheless it’s one of many few that comes pre-breaded and fried, and onions mesh rather well with marinara and cheese. All it’s important to do is warmth up the rings in accordance with the bundle directions, then pile them on a hoagie roll with pink sauce and a mix of mozzarella and parmesan. Broil to soften the cheese and it’s time to eat.
You might be welcome to get as elaborate as you want with every element. You can also make your personal sauce (I like this one) or snag a jar from the grocery retailer. You need to use recent mozzarella, or the pre-shredded and bagged low-moisture stuff. For the parm element, you’ll be able to both shred actual deal Parmigiano-Reggiano, or seize a shaker of Kraft.
One factor you shouldn’t compromise on is the quantity of onion rings. You want a minimum of two layers, ideally three, and they need to be as crispy as you will get them with out burning them. The highest layer will bear the brunt of the sauce and can inevitably get somewhat delicate, however decrease stage onions ought to keep pretty crispy. For greatest outcomes, I advocate waffling your onion rings in order to maximise the crunchy floor space and assist them stack somewhat bit higher.
