Fried Calamari
5 Ingredients and a couple of minutes are all you need to cook great Calamari
Ingredients
- 500 grams squid (3 x large, cleaned & turned inside out)
- ½ cup bread flour
- 2 tbsp weber karoo chop spice
- 2 cups sunflower oil
- salt
Instructions
- Once the squid has been cleaned, slice into 1cm to 1.5cm rings. Beat the rings with the rough end of a meat tenderizer mallet until flat (but not broken).
- Sprinkle with Weber spice directly onto the squid and mix by hand to incorporate.
- Cover squid in flour and ensure all parts are covered. Shake off excess flour before adding to oil.
- Cook for approximately 1 minute per side in very hot oil, until lightly golden. Fry in small batches as to not overcrowd the pan.
- Remove from oil and place on kitchen towel. Season with salt.
- Serve with dipping sauce of choice or simply a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
