"Fried" Onion Rings

1 large sweet or spanish onion cut into rings

1st coating
4 tbs. olive oil
2 tbs. water
Sea salt to taste

2nd coating:
1 cup ground golden flax seeds
1/2 cup ground unsoaked almonds
1-2 tsp. paprika
Sea salt and pepper to season

How to: Take each onion ring, dip it into the 2nd coating, then into the 1st coating and then back into the 2nd coating. Your goal is to get as much of the 2nd coating as possible. Once you have achived that, gently take the the coated onion rings and put them on dehydrator trays (without teflex sheets) and dehydrate the rings for about 10-14 hrs at 105 degrees F. or until crispy. Serve them with a tangy dipping sauce.

Tangy Dipping Sauce
1 cup macadamia nuts (soaked for 2-4 hrs)
1/2 cup pine nuts
1-2 tbs. lemon juice
2 tbs. soaked sun dried tomatoes
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
Sea salt to taste

Add everything in heavy duty food processor or a high speed blender and process or blend till smooth and creamy. Add a little water if needed. Scoop out the mixture into a bowl and garnish it with chopped cilantro and diced red bell pepper. Serve aside warm onion rings.
