     3/4   c            Plus 2 tb beer (not dark)
   1       c            All-purpose flour
     3/4   c            Finely chopped fresh parsley
     3/4   ts           Salt plus additional for

   1       lg           Onion
                        Vegetable oil for deep-fry
                        Salsa Verde for dipping
                        -(optional)

  In a bowl, whisk beer into flour until batter is
  smooth and whisk in parsley. Let batter stand 30
  minutes and stir in 3/4 ts salt.
  
  Cut onion crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices and
  separate slices into rings.
  
  In a large, deep skillet, heat 1 inch oil to 380 deg
  F. Working in batches of 4 or 5 onion rings, drag
  rings through batter to coat completely, letting
  excess drip off, and fry, turning, until golden, about
  1 to 2 minutes. With tongs, transfer rings as fried to
  paper towels to drain and season with additional salt.
  
  Serve onion rings with Salsa Verde.
