Tempura Dill Pickles image

This recipe blends an Asian-inspired batter with fried dill pickles, a classic fish fry side in the lower South. Recipe is from Southern Living Magazine. The first time I ever had fried dill pickles was in Tennessee, while on vacation, and they were delicious. Note: Cooking time is 2.5 minutes per batch.

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (24 ounce) jar kosher dill pickles (circle cut)
vegetable oil (for frying)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground red pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup club soda, chilled

Steps:

  • Drain pickles, reserving 2 tablespoons pickle juice. Press pickles between layers of paper towels. Set aside.
  • Pour oil to a depth of 3 inches into a dutch oven; heat to 370 degrees F.
  • Combine flour and next 3 ingredients in a medium bowl. Stir in club soda and reserved pickle juice, stirring just until combined (batter will be lumpy).
