Pickles:
Thoroughly drain and pat dry the pickles. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cornmeal, Creole seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder and ground cumin.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and eggs. Toss the pickle chips with 1/4 cup of the dry seasoned flour/cornmeal mixture.

Heat 5-inches of oil in a heavy bottomed pot to 350°F. Dip the flour coated pickle slices in the buttermilk egg wash then into the dry coating. Drop into the oil separately. Cook for 2-3 minutes until golden on both sides, gently turning as needed. Repeat cooking in batches. Maintain the oil temperature around 350-360°F for best the results.

Remove with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. Seasoning lightly with salt or additional Creole seasoning immediately. Serve with the Creole dipping sauce on the side. Yield: 8-10 servings

Sauce:
Place all of the ingredients into a blender and pulse until combined. Chill thoroughly for at least 2 hours prior to serving.

Yield: approximately 1 1/2 cup
