Nowadays it seems like everyone and their father are making pickles. Well, your Dad might not be making them, but who doesn't love a briny, crunchy pickle? This Father's Day, surprise yours with a jar of McClure's Pickles. Before the height of the current pickle revolution that is still sweeping America, Joe and Bob McClure were ahead of the curve when they created the gold standard of pickles with their classic Garlic Dill and Spicy Pickles.
These well-balanced pickles have a piquant flavor from salt water brine, the freshness of cool cucumbers and a snappy bite. Joe and Bob take it a step further and also repurpose pickle brine to add a zippy kick to classic Bloody Mary Mixer and enhance addictive crinkle-cut Potato Chips. In anticipation of Father's Day, we started thinking about other creative ways to use McClure's products beyond the jar. Skip the barbeque sauce and "King of the Grill" apron, give Pops the power of the pickle. Here are our top 5 ways to brine and dine:
- McClure-tini: A dirty martini with a twist - substitute pickle brine for the olive juice and garnish with a pickle spear and a sprig of fresh dill.
- Fish n' Chips: Add a zing to fried fish by using a 3-to-1 mixture of crushed McClure's Pickle Chips and panko breadcrumbs to coat a fillet of Rock Cod.
- Pickle-d Eggs: Classic deviled eggs get a punch of flavor from a dash of brine in the filling and a sliced pickle garnish.
- Bloody Mary BBQ Sauce: Not just for brunch. McClure's Bloody Mary Mixer also makes an unusual addition to tomato-based BBQ sauce (recipe). Brush over rich, meaty pork ribs, melt-in-your-mouth brisket or toss with chicken wings.
- A Briny Idea for Meat: Pickle-ize pork chops - combine 2 cups pickle juice with 1 cup of water, 1 _ tablespoons whole grain mustard and 2 minced shallots. Brine meat for 2-4 hours, pat dry and throw on the grill until cooked through. The result is a tender cut of meat with a savory hint of garlic and dill. Serve with potato salad studded with chopped pickles.
