Rings of Hudalla

"Look, I'm well aware this ain't the first time someone's sliced up an onion, coated it in with somethin' delicious, and served it next to a sandwich. But these baked beauties have somethin' special that sets them apart from the traditional onion ring: They've traded breading for puffer pig bacon!"

- Strono Tuggs

Rings of Hudalla were a type of onion ring consisting of onion wrapped in pink puffer pig bacon coated in a mixture of sugar and spice that caramelized as the dish was cooked. The rings were named for the gas giant Hudalla, which was orbited by some of the largest rings in the galaxy.

At some point following the Battle of Takodana in 34 ABY, the Artiodac chef Strono Tuggs included a recipe for Rings of Hudalla in his cookbook, The Official Black Spire Outpost Cookbook. In the book he suggested they could be served alongside a sandwich and were superior to normal breaded onion rings.

Behind the scenes
Rings of Hudalla were created as a recipe for the 2019 cookbook Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge: The Official Black Spire Outpost Cookbook, which was written by Marc Sumerak and Chelsea Monroe-Cassel. The out-of-universe recipe requires two large yellow onions that have been peeled and cut into discs, two tablespoons of hot sauce, a cup of brown sugar, half a teaspoon of garam masala and a pound of sliced bacon.

The make the dish, the onion rings must be paired based on sized and then lightly brushed with hot sauce. The garam masala and the brown sugar should then be mixed together and each slice of bacon dipped in the mix. Each onion ring pair should then be wrapped in one or more slices of bacon so that the onion is fully covered and then baked.
