The two things have nothing to do with each other, aside from he is expecting to reheat beans and rice tonight. And while we're still doing that, I'm going to attempt one of our favorite foods as a side: Fried pickles. A friend's girlfriend gave me a recipe a month or so ago and I just never tried it. Here goes nothing.
Mackenzie Fried Pickles
Ingredients:
- 1 jar dill pickle chips
- 2/3 cup pickle juice
- 1 cup + 2 tablespoons of flour
- 1 egg
- salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Mix pickle juice, 2 tablespoons flour, and the egg together in one bowl. In another, mix 1 cup flour, and salt & pepper.
Dip the pickle chips in the egg mixture first, and then the flour. Fry in about 2 inches of oil at about 350° for about 2 minutes or until golden on both sides, flipping once.
Drain on paper towels and serve.
Alternatively, you can be a total klutz like I am and dump half the pickles and all the flour on yourself and the floor halfway through but it is not recommended.
Mangia!
