Thanks to Ben and Jocelyn for letting me blog about this recipe.
The Concept: Gameday restaurant fare from Your very own kitchen.

Jalapenos
2 packets ranch seasoning
1 cup buttermilk
2 cups sour cream
Cilantro
For the Fried Pickles:
Flour
Cajun Seasoning
Egg
Milk
1 jar crinkle cut pickles
Oil for frying
The Process:
For the Jalapeno Ranch dip:
Starting with one jalapeno: dice, then combine with remaining ingredients and a pinch of cilantro in a blender. Blend and taste. Add jalapenos (to increase the spiciness) and cilantro to taste.
For the Fried Pickles:
- Heat about 1/2 inch of oil in a large skillet.
- Combine flour with cajun seasoning, about 1 tbsp cajun seasoning per 1 cup flour.
- Combine milk and eggs, using 1 egg per 1 cup milk.
- Dredge a pickle slice in flour, then in the milk mixture, and back into the flour.
- Fry in the skillet until golden brown.
- Remove to a paper towel lined plate to dry.
The Finished Product:
Crispy. Spicy. Tasty. The Fried Pickles with Jalapeno Ranch dip were definitely a hit in Our Gameday fare.
Enjoy!

I'd also add that you can use a thicker or thinner coating of batter to get more or less of the pickle flavor.
ReplyDeleteWith the left over creamy jalapeno, we have a couple of ideas. Either veggie enchiladas with the jalapeno ranch as the sauce before baking, chicken tacos with the dip or, since we also have left over chips, we're going to try a taco frito pie with ground turkey and the jalapeno ranch. I'll report back with the results later. :)
