Fried Pickles

Fried Pickles.....sounds a bit discussting!? 

 or as my 5 Year Old Nephew would say..Nasty!

Tonight I saw them on the menu and thought...Hmmm, Why Not?!

The cucumber dip sounded good even if the pickles didn't make the grade:)

To my surprise...the darn things were good! 

Actually burned my mouth and dripped pickle juice on my self...

This picture was actually taken and sent to my dear long time friend who lives in Virginia...

she LOVES Fried Pickles...

Her response was confirmation of her love for the things..!

As usual, I brought home over half of my meal...

Which gives me my lunch for tomorrow:))

I'm actually looking forward to eating the rest of them with the other half of my Chicken Quesadilla..

Here is a recipe I would try to make my own.

Fried Pickles

Ingredients

• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 cup milk
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 (32 ounce) jar sliced dill pickles, drained
• 1 quart vegetable oil for deep-frying

Directions

1. In a small bowl, mix together the egg, milk, 1 tablespoon of flour, and Worcestershire sauce. In a separate bowl, stir together the remaining flour, salt, and pepper.
2. Heat oil to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) in a deep-fryer or heavy deep skillet. Dip pickle slices into the milk mixture, then into the flour mixture. Repeat dipping.
3. Place the pickles carefully into the hot oil. Avoid over crowding by frying in several batches. Fry until pickles float to the surface, and are golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon, and drain on paper towels.

 I would fry some to eat with a cook out during the summer months..

Cucumber Dip

Ingredients

• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 2 cucumbers - peeled, seeded and chopped
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed
• 1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce

Directions

1. Place cream cheese in a medium bowl. Beat until smooth. Stir in cucumbers, mayonnaise, fresh lemon juice, dill weed and hot pepper sauce. 

Enjoy..!
