Battered Fried Pickles at home with this recipe on Gift Style Blog Gave That


Recently my sister threw up her hands and said, you can't get away from them! What can't you get away from? You can'y get away from Parmesan fries and fried pickles, they're everywhere! Evidently the last straw came after she found them on the menu of a French restaurant in the city. Little did she know that she was about to get some more as that's exactly what we would be making that evening. Baked secret ingredient Parmesan fries already made their appearance a little while back, go check 'em out if you haven't already as they're actually rather good alongside these

THE RECIPE >




Originally I was going to share my recipe for making breaded fried zucchini. This is definitely the season when many are blessed with tons of those base ball bat sized beauties but decided (thanks to sis ) to make battered fried pickles instead using the same technique. There are already loads of copycat recipes out there for making authentic pub style fried pickles. This isn't one of them. Instead, this is a recipe that uses the extra step of a Béchamel coating.

While fried foods are not something I eat or make often, the bitterness of the zucchini and vinegar of the dill pickles cut through the breading in a way that is really good. Here Heinz dill sandwich pickles were used. Served with along side is a simple dipping sauce of i part mayo and 1 part ranch dressing with some celery salt on top. Classic pub food, I have to admit, has been making for great party food lately and it's easy to see why frickles have attained cult status.
