This dish is fun to make as an appetizer when entertaining friends and family it also tastes wonderful with homemade aioli

Method
Cut calamari hoods into 0.5cm-thick rings. Place peppercorns in a small, non-stick frying pan over median heat. Cook, gently shaking the pan for 3 minutes or until aromatic. Place with salt flakes in a motor and pestle or spice grinder and grind (the coarser the grind, the hotter the flavours).
Place flour in a bowl. Lightly beat eggwhites until frothy.
Preheat oven to 160’C. Pour oil into a wok until a third full. Heat over medium heat until a piece of bread dropped into oil browns in 15 seconds.
Coat Calamari rings, batches of 10, in eggwhite. Lightly toss in flour , shaking off excess
Deep-frying calamari rings for 1 to 2 minutes or until light golden. Place on a wire rack over a lined baking tray. Keep warm in oven while cooking remaining calamari.
Place calamari on plates, sprinkle with salt and pepper mixture.

I like the dredging step here. Can make a mayo out of the yoke to dip the Calamari and chips in. \0
