Blooming onion with lumpfish caviar dip
A blooming onion is a classic bar snack, consisting of an onion cut and deep fried so that it ‘blooms’ in the hot oil. It can be served with classic dips such as ranch, but here we’ve served ours with a tangy and luxurious dip made with sour cream, chives and plenty of lumpfish caviar.

- 1 large onion
- 2 eggs

Trim the top off the onion and peel it, then trim the roots
Place the cut side down on a chopping board and make 4 cuts downward through the onion, with the tip of the knife starting facing inwards towards the roots, but leaving the root intact. This will give you 4 quarters of onion that are still held together by the root in centre
