Spicy Garlic Pickle Dip Recipes

HOMEMADE SPICY GARLIC DILL PICKLES RECIPE

Steps:

• Add all of the ingredients to a small bowl and stir to mix.
• Prepare your jars and lids for canning. I run my jars through the dishwasher to sterilize and remove them while still warm. Add the lids to a small pot of simmering boiled water to pull from for the canning process.
• In a large stock pot to avoid contaminationbring the vinegars, water and salt to a simmer.
• To each sterilized jar add: 2-3 tablespoons of pickling spice, 2-3 fronds and stalks of dried dill weed, 2-3 Thai red peppers depending on your preference and 4-5 whole garlic cloves to each jar. Pack the whole or sliced cucumbers into the jars so they are tight but aren't damaged in the process. The cucumbers should sit below the neck of the jar. Trim the cucumbers if they're poking up too high.
• Pour the brine into the jars leaving 1/2 inch headspace, just covering the cucumbers.
• Wipe the rims of the jars and use tongs to place the lids and rings (that have been sterilized in simmering water) on top of the jars. To avoid contamination, do not touch the lids where they sit on the jars with your fingers.
• Process in a canner water bath of boiling water for 10 minutes. Remove the jars from the pot and allow them to cool on a dishtowel on the counter. As the jars cool you will hear them pop as they seal. Sealed jars should feel solid when tapped and be concave in shape.
• Store in a dry cool place. Pickles will be ready to try in about 7-10 days but get even better over time. They can be stored for up to 1 year.

EASY SPICY FRIED PICKLES WITH GARLIC MAYONNAISE

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.
