Hush Puppy Onion Rings with Smoked Maple Carrot Tahini
This recipe has nothing to do with shoes, it's all about thick cut, fresh onion rings dipped in what is typically a corn dog recipe batter, then golden fried to perfection. The dipping part of this recipe takes it to a whole new level. (No puppies were harmed during the making of this recipe)
