Easyspicyfriedpickleswithgarlicmayonnaise Recipes

Steps:

• For the Cajun aioli: In a bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice and Cajun seasoning until combined. Fold in the green onions, cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• For the fried pickles: Combine the sour cream and pickle juice in a shallow dish. In a second shallow dish, whisk the flour, cornmeal and cayenne until combined.
• Drain the pickles and add them to the sour cream mixture. Then, using a fork, add the pickles, a few at a time, to the flour mixture and toss to coat.
• Heat 1/2 inch of canola oil to 350 degrees F in a large cast-iron skillet. In several batches, fry the pickles, flipping constantly, until golden brown and crispy all over, 2 1/2 minutes per batch. Drain on a paper-towel-lined baking sheet and season with salt.

Steps:

• Mix the sea salt, apple cider vinegar, and water and bring to a boil. Simmer for 5 minutes. Remove the brine from the heat and allow it to cool slightly. Arrange the cucumbers upright in a container large enough to hold the brine. Place the dill sprigs in amongst the cucumbers in the jars. The cucumbers should be fitted tightly and should come within 1/2-inch of the top of the container.
• Fill the container with the brine to the top and tap on a flat surface to remove any possible air bubbles.
• The pickles will last for up to a few weeks.

Steps:

• Beat 1 egg, 3/4 cup milk and a pinch of cayenne. Place 1/4 cup cornstarch in a shallow dish. In another dish, mix 1/2 cup each cornstarch and cornmeal with 2 tablespoons chopped dill, 2 teaspoons paprika, and salt and pepper. Dip about 3 dozen cold pickle slices in the plain cornstarch, then the egg wash, then the cornmeal mixture. Fry in 2 inches of 375 degrees F canola oil until golden, about 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels and serve with ranch dressing.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat.
• Pat the pickle slices dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, stir together the bread crumbs, cayenne pepper, black pepper and garlic powder. Dip pickle slices into the egg, and then coat with the bread crumb mixture.

Steps:

• Dissolve the salt in the water, and add the cucumber, onions and cauliflower. Cover and leave for 24 hours. Drain the vegetables.
• In a large pan, blend the sugar, mustard and ginger with 5 cups of vinegar. Stir in salt and vegetable mixture, bring to the boil, and simmer for 20 minutes.
• Blend the flour and turmeric with the remaining 1 cup of vinegar and stir into the cooked vegetables. Bring to the boil and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Pour into sterilized canning jars.
• In a large stock pot, pour water half way to top with boiling water. Using a holder, carefully lower jars into pot. Leave a 2-inch space between jars. Add more boiling water to cover them, about 2 inches above the tops. Bring to a boil and cover, processing for 15 minutes. Remove jars from pot. Put jars on a wood or cloth surface, several inches apart and allow to cool. Jars will be sealed.

Steps:

• Aioli -- just mix the mayonnaise, garlic and lemon and put in a small bowl and cover and refrigerate.
• Pickles -- In a large baggie I add the flour, salt, black pepper and cayenne and mix well. Then add in the pickles (Note: I like to dry off the pickles first -- you don't want them wet) and lightly toss. Make sure to dust off most of the flour. Set on a plate for Part II.
• Pickles Part II -- Grind the panko crumbs in a small food processor until you have a fine crumb mixture. Now in 2 bowls add the egg to one bowl and the panko crumbs to the other one. Dredge the pickles already dusted in flour in the egg and then into the panko crumbs to coat well and set on a plate ready to be fried.
• Pickles Part III -- In a large frying pan heat up the oil to 350 degrees or medium high heat. Now add 10 or so pickles at a time and fry until golden brown on each side. They only take a few minutes per side. Remove to a plate lined with a paper towel to let drain.
• Serve warm with the garlic aioli dip. A great change from fries with ketchup.

Steps:

• In a nonreactive stockpot over medium-high heat, bring the vinegar, water, sugar, salt, peppercorns and bay leaf (and chile flakes, if using) to a boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Add the cucumbers (or pineapple), then remove from the heat and let cool completely. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate until serving. Drain before serving. (Pickles keep, refrigerated, about 2 weeks.)

Steps:

• Combine the first 9 ingredients in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Let boil for 2 minutes, remove from the heat and let sit until cooled to room temperature. Add the dill and cilantro. Place the cucumbers, into a large Mason jar, pour the cooled vinegar mixture over them, cover and refrigerate for at least 24 hours or up to 4 days.

Steps:

• Whisk rice vinegar, sugar, soy sauce, fish sauce, and crushed red pepper in large bowl. DO AHEAD Can be made 1 day ahed. Cover and Chill. Slice cucumbers crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Add cucumber slices to vinegar mixture; toss. Cover and chill ten minutes to 1 hour, tossing occassionally.

Steps:

• Stir sugar in the vinegar until dissolved. Add salt, celery salt, and dill seed, mixing together.
• Pour over cucumbers and onions.
• Stir and push under liquid.
• Let stand for 24 hours.
• Put in jars and refrigerate.
• No need to can, just keep in refrigerator.
• They will keep indefinetely in refrigerator.
• NOTE: Even though it seems like you don't have enough liquid at first,in several hours you will have enough liquid to cover the cucumbers.

Steps:

• Soak cucumbers overnight in cold water. Drain and place into quart-sized sterilized Mason jars so that they are firmly packed but not smashed (Recipe estimate is for 6 cucumbers per jar, but naturally this will vary depending on the size of your cucumbers).
• In large pan, boil vinegar, water and pickling salt.
• Pour over cucumbers in the jars.
• Per jar add 2 or 3 cloves garlic, dill, 1/8 teaspoon alum, and 2 peppers.
• Store in a cool dark place (I use my pantry). Ready in about 30 days.

Steps:

• Pour the kefir, or buttermilk, or yogurt into a small dish and stir in the ½ teaspoon of hot smoked paprika, ½ teaspoon of salt, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and maple syrup. Peel the garlic and mince or grate it in, too. Give a good stir, then add the chicken thigh and turn it in the marinade to make sure it's well coated. Cover the dish, then leave for at least 4 hours or up to 2 days in the fridge. (If you simply cannot wait that long, leave the chicken in its marinade out on the kitchen countertop for 20-40 minutes.)
• Take the chicken, in its marinade, out of the fridge in good time to get to room temperature before you start to cook it.
• Mix the flour with the remaining ¼ teaspoon each of hot smoked paprika and salt in a shallow dish. Lift the chicken out of the marinade, but don't try and shake it off. Dredge both sides of the chicken in the seasoned flour, then dip briefly back into the marinade and dredge again. This double-dredging is essential to get a thick, shaggy coating. You can leave the coated chicken in the flour dish until you fry.
• Mix the garlic mayonnaise with the Chili Crisp oil and honey, and spread both pieces of a split burger bun (or a couple of slices of bread) with it. Put a plate lined with paper towels by (but not dangerously near) the stove, if you want to get rid of any excess fat once the chicken's cooked.
• Pour enough oil into your chosen pan to come about 1½ inches up the sides. Heat until a small piece of bread becomes golden and crisp almost instantly; if you want to be precise, and have a food thermometer, then you want the fat to be at 375ºF when the chicken goes in (and about 350ºF as it cooks).
• Using tongs, gently lower the chicken thigh into the hot oil, and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, by which time the coating should be deep gold and very crisp and the chicken completely cooked through. Remove to the waiting paper-lined plate, remembering to take the pan of oil off the heat, and leave to stand for a couple of minutes while you shred some iceberg lettuce and get out your pickles. Put a handful of shredded lettuce on top of the mayo on the bottom slice, top with the fried chicken, add kimchi, pink-pickled onions and any other pickles you want. Scatter with a bit more lettuce and squidge on the top of the bun or second slice of bread. Go in cautiously: I have more than once burned my mouth.

Steps:

• Wash cucumbers. Cut 1/16-inch slice off blossom end and discard, but leave 1/4-inch of stem attached. Place cucumbers in large container and cover with boiling water.
