Picklefest!

Written By John Berens

Pickles are really having a day, y’all. I’m glad I finally got fully on board the Pickle Train in the last several years so I can relish (ha) in this moment. Last night’s dinner was really a pickle extravaganza. For the meal, I made a couple recipes from @jodimmoreno’s new book, Simple Pleasures. First, pickle-brined chicken— juicy and absolutely delicious, and super easy to make. Second, pickle potato salad with peperoncini and crispy prosciutto. Oh. My. Goodness. Both of these dishes were outstanding and I’ll be making them again.

And for the drink: gotta have a pickle margarita. Make it spicy. This is my version, and it’s delicious.

Recipe

Shake, strain over fresh ice, garnish with a pickle. Cheers!!
