Deep Fried Pickles
The salty tang of the pickles is balanced perfectly with a delectable dipping sauce that has just the right amount of kick.
For the Dip:
- ¼ cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp Horseradish
- 1 tbsp Ketchup
- ¼ tsp Cajun Seasoning
For the Pickles:
- Vegetable Oil
- ¼ cup all-purpose Flour
- 1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon Oregano
- ¼ teaspoon Basil
- ⅛ teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
- Kosher Salt
- 2 cups Dill Pickles drained and slice
Instructions:
- Preheat oil to 375 degrees.
- In a small bowl, mix all the dip ingredients. Set aside.
- Place about 1 ½” of vegetable oil in a wide pot and heat over medium high heat.
- In a medium bowl, mix flour, Cajun seasoning, oregano, basil, pepper and salt.
- Depending on how big your pot is, you may have to fry the pickles in 2 batches. You don’t want the pickles to overlap when they’re frying, so make sure you have enough space.
- Coat the pickles with the flour mixture and shake off excess. Gently add the pickles to the oil, one at a time.
- Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove pickles with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towel. Repeat with another batch, if necessary.
- Serve right away with dipping sauce.
