Fried Pickle Po’ Boy

Ingredients

• 4 Turano French Rolls
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1/4 teaspoon hot sauce, plus more for serving
• 2 teaspoons paprika
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 1/4 cup cornmeal
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• Pinch of cayenne
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 2 cups vegetable oil, for frying
• 40 cold dill pickle slices, patted dry
• 1 cup thinly shredded romaine lettuce
• 3 plum tomatoes, sliced into 1/4-inch slices (12 slices)


Directions

① Combine the mayonnaise, hot sauce and 1 teaspoon of the paprika in a medium bowl.
② Beat the milk and egg in a separate medium bowl. Put the flour in a shallow dish. Combine the cornstarch, cornmeal, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, 2 teaspoons salt, a few grinds of black pepper and remaining 1 teaspoon paprika in another shallow dish.
③ Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer registers 375 degrees F.
④ Dip the pickle slices first in the flour, tapping off any excess, then in the egg mixture. Then press them in the cornmeal mixture to coat. Fry in batches, turning once, until golden, about 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
⑤ Spread 2 tablespoons of the mayonnaise mixture inside each French Roll. Top each with 1/4 cup lettuce and 3 tomato slices. Stuff 10 fried pickles into each sandwich. Serve with more hot sauce.
