Ingredients

  • For the Onion Rings

  • 1 clove of Garlic
  • 400 g minced meat
  • 2 tsp mustard
  • 1 package (150g) Kerrygold Cheddar, grated
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • 4 x large green onions
  • 24 slices of bacon
  • 2 tblsp oil
  • Chutney

  • 4 Onions
  • 1 tsp sweet paprika
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 8 tbsp BBQ sauce
  • 2 tbsp runny honey
  • Dipping Sauce

  • 1 bunch of chives
  • 250g edible quark
  • 1 tbsp of sugar
  • Juice of half a lime

Directions

Step 1:

Peel garlic and chop finely. Mix the minced meat with the mustard, cheese and garlic, season with salt and pepper. Peel the onions and cut into slices about 1.5 cm thick. Gently squeeze out the inner layers of onions to form rings. Place a small onion ring in a large one and fill the space in between with the prepared mince mixture. Wrap the filled onion rings with 2 slices of bacon each and cover and chill.

Step 2:

Process the remaining onions into a chutney. Roughly chop the onions and sauté them in oil in a pan over medium heat until golden brown. Add the paprika powder, thyme and 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce and simmer, covered, over a low heat for about 5 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and let cool.

Step 3:

Grill the onion rings on the hot grill or in the pan for about 5 minutes on both sides. Mix 6 tablespoons of sauce with honey and brush onion rings with it. Cook over indirect heat on the grill for another 20 minutes. (Or cook in a preheated oven at 175°C top/bottom heat for about 15 minutes.)

Step 4:

In the meantime, wash the chives for the dip, shake dry and cut into fine rolls. Mix the quark with the sugar, lime juice and chives, season with salt and pepper. Serve onion rings with chutney and sour cream.
