I honestly think their pickles kind of suck, at least the dills aren't super great, but I will consider trying some other varieties, good job Mt Olive
Lol their dills are good imo
better or worse than Bick's?
Bick's are like the default pickle up here in Ontario, and they're American so obvs a lot of us aren't buying them anymore. they still have a lot of shelf space, but I've started to see a lot of other brands get more. not more US brands though so I doubt I'll ever see these
I like their mini dill pickles. Great for a snack, great sliced on a sandwich. The mini ones have better texture than the normal sized, more crunch.
Ah nice, I used to snack on pickles all the time I dunno why I stopped, I'm sure it'll cycle back around sometime :D
They're decent. They're fine. Not great.
They have a Sweet N Hot mix that works great in brat pockets.
What if I cook my brats from raw
It sounds great, I'm just not sure I want to change to precooked
I do love a recipe with easy cleanup :) sounds yummo, I'll try it over summer for sure
I think they have a place for certain things. Also the mt.olive simply pickles kosher dills with the red banner is way better than their regular kosher dills.
Ah gotcha, I'll give them a go, I just didn't care for the dill spears or hamburger slices, no one makes a decent hamburger dill now they are all giant slabs of cucumber or bad lol
I buy their whole pickles and then slice my own on a mandolin slicer. Love the flat deli style slices on sandwiches but they only sell them with ripples!
But that's a sliced pickle, a hamburger chip should be sliced then pickled, I really can't tell you what the difference is my mouth just knows there is one, I guess I'm picky XD
I grew up eating their sweet relish in deviled eggs, I’m not going to say it’s irreplaceable but it’s definitely tasty.
I don't use much with relish these days but I'll give it a whirl if in the need, thanks :)
I usually use their roasted red peppers for shakshuka. They work pretty well for that.
Sounds like those would be good for muhammara too!
Sounds tasty, I never made that myself I'll have to try! thank you :)
Definitely do. I mostly follow Alton Brown's recipe, but I use a jar of the Mt. Olive roasted red peppers instead of roasting my own as a time saver. I'll also usually do a 28 ounce can of crushed San Marzano tomatoes in puree instead of the beefsteak tomatoes. Both of these are because I usually make this as a weekend breakfast, and I can't be bothered to make those fresh first thing in the morning.
Also, Alton's recipe uses urfa biber pepper, but Aleppo pepper is more traditional. IIRC, Aleppo pepper was hard to come by when he published it during the Syrian civil war, but it's much more plentiful now.
The quick preserved lemons and the harissa can be made well in advance, and are also delicious in many other dishes. If you don't want to be bothered with the latter, Trader Joe's sells prepared harissa in a jar.
Oh, interesting, I have aleppo pepper but never heard of urfa biber. I love aleppo it has almost a citrus tang to it. I've had the Trader Joe's harissa it's good yea, they used to make an aleppo sauce actually but they stopped making it like 3 years ago, too bad it was so tasty on falafel :9 I'll check Alton's recipe and try your tasty alterations :)
Their chopped jalapeños are very good but I agree that their pickles are mediocre
Oh! I usually make my own but I use a lot of those thanks :)
