-sprinkling rings
1 lg Onion
Vegetable oil for deep-fryer Salsa Verde for dipping

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 deep fryer heat 3 inches 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.
