Fried pickles? Really? Not something that would appeal to me typically, but then two things happened in quick succession - my daughter asked me to make her some, and I bought the V Street cookbook. That was a wonderful coinkydink!
This recipe is adapted from the V Street cookbook (they made their own pickles from scratch) and it was a hit. Super crunchy and bursting with sour tartness these pickles were phenomenal on their own. But, wait, dip them in this spicy BBQ sauce and it takes everything to the next level of spectacular. EPIC.
I paired the pickles and sauce with toasty grilled cheese sandwiches made on thick sourdough and overflowing with 3 kinds of dairy-free cheese from Black Sheep Vegan Cheeze (mozza, jalapeno, and unforgettable parmesan). Don't be shy, dip that crunchy, ooey gooey cheesy sammie right into the spicy BBQ sauce and be prepared to swoon. It's that good!
Enjoy every crunchy, cheesy, tart, smoky, spicy bite.
