Texas Roadhouse Cactus Blossom Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 large sweet onion (like Vidalia)
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp paprika
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- Vegetable oil for frying
For the dipping sauce
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 2 tbsp horseradish
- ½ tsp paprika
- ¼ tsp cayenne
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Onion: Cut off the top (stem side) of the onion and peel it. Leave the root intact. Make vertical cuts downward, turning the onion as you go to create “petals”. Soak in cold water for 30 minutes to help the petals open.
- Prepare Breading: In one bowl, combine flour, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne, salt, and black pepper. In another, beat eggs and milk together.
- Coat the Onion: Dip the opened onion into the egg mixture, ensuring it gets between all the petals. Then dredge in flour mixture, shaking off excess.
- Fry: Heat oil to 375°F in a deep pot. Carefully place onion root-side down into the oil. Fry for about 5–7 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Make the Sauce: Mix all dipping sauce ingredients in a small bowl.
- Serve: Place the fried blossom on a plate, serve with dipping sauce in the center, and enjoy!
