VEGAN MOFO #2!

For day #2 my boyfriend and I made FRIED PICKLES!! 

Vegan Fried Pickles

It's a complete southern favorite and not exactly the  healthiest thing you can eat but so what!? Nobody's perfect and these are the healthiest fried pickles you will ever eat! This is a recipe for  every-once-in-a-while when you just crave something fried OR for new vegans who are transitioning and miss fried foods. Frying in coconut oil seems strange at first...until you eat it! Try it and you will see what I mean. Coconut oil is loads more healthy than traditional vegetable oil, but if that's what you have then go ahead.

All you need is:
*Some rice milk (about 3 tablespoons for two small whole pickles) in one bowl. You can judge whether you need more or less.
*Some flour and cornmeal in another (about 2 tablespoons each) mixed with whatever spices you like. I used Cream of Tartar and All seasons salt.

*We like to bread our pickles twice before frying. Also, we just bought whole, organic pickles from Whole Foods and sliced them ourselves. It was worth it to find what thickness we liked the most.
*You don't need much oil, a few tablespoons should do.
*Get the oil to a medium to medium high heat and plop in the pickles. Remove them once they are as crunchy as you like.

The sauce:
We mixed Vegan mayo (I use Organicville mayo) with some relish (diced pickles), and equal parts of paprika, all purpose italian seasoning, crushed red pepper flakes, cream of tartar, and Bragg's Liquid Aminos (kinda like soy sauce), and all-seasons salt.

There you have it: Best Appetizer Ever! Hope you like it and if you try it, please let me know! :)

All of our spices are by either Spicely Organic Spices or Organicville Spices. Both are great!
