Healthier? Blooming Onion

There seem to be many recipes for how to prepare the onion, or you can be lazy and just AirFry some breaded onion rings –
but in spite of many “taste tests”, I still could not find a Dip recipe we both liked. more flavor, some heat and quick to make (which means stuff I always have on hand anyway)

AirFry Blooming Onion

  Wheat’s Blooming Onion Dip Sauce
In a bowl – combine
1/3 cup Mayo (REAL Mayo – Not Salad Dressing)
1/3 cup Sour Cream – including whey
or sub yogurt for a slightly different flavor
1 TBL Ketchup or sub BBQ Sauce – mesquite is great
1 tsp or more to taste HorseRadish Powder
or prepared horseradish
1/2 tsp Smoked Paprika
1/2 tsp Garlic Granules
1/2 tsp Chipotle powder
Or chili or cayenne
or heat of your choice
1/2 tsp Black Pepper – coarsely ground
1/2 tsp Liquid Smoke – we like Mesquite Flavor
Mix well, Cover, refrigerate for a few hours.
It will keep nicely in the Frig for several days,
so I often prepare it in advance – we kinda treat it as a universal dipping sauce.

I said “healthier” – that is because the onion is Air Fried not Deep Fried and BTW, the sauce is great with anything you like to dip from broccoli to zucchini – fried or battered and Air Fried

I have done the onion in our Ninja Foodi 6.5qt and will soon also try the rings in the Ninja Foodi Oven acquired a few weeks ago.
Yes, I am presently obsessed by these additions to our kitchen.

Special Thanks to a FaceBook friend, Wally Bliss, who shared the TatertotsAndJello.com  recipe link for onion prep I used for inspiration for those less lazy – it seems to have a great flavor profile.

Orthodox Easter

… For Ukrainians, who are primarily Orthodox Christians, Easter is the most important religious holiday of the year. Here is how they celebrate this holy holiday…
I have worked at adapting at least one of the foods used in Easter Dinner either in a counter top convection oven or, Since late December, using Darth Vader – my Ninja Foodi
Still some work to be done = perhaps by 2020
If you would like to read a bit about these food, there is a decent over view at

Ninja Foodi is a What?

in: Kitchen

Ninja Foodi ™
aka/ “Foodi” is a countertop kitchen appliance that combines the functions of an (EPC) Electric Pressure Cooker and (AF) AirFryer

Shark/Ninja describes its TenderCrisp(tm) “most” AF functions that are preceded by use of the (PC) Pressure Cook functionality

The ability to go from PC to AF for TenderCrisp(tm) is one of the best features of the Ninja Foodi (or at least in my opinion)
