- 60 minutes to make
- Serves 10
This is a dish I make every Christmas!
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 lbs. squid, cleaned and cut into rings, 2 large cloves crushed garlic, 1 cup flour seasoned with 1/2 tsp. salt, 1/4 tsp. pepper, 1 tsp. baking powder and a pinch of cayenne pepper, plain breadcrumbs - I recommend the '4c' brand breadcrumbs. corn oil for deep frying. shopping list
How to make it
- Mix all dry ingredients together, include crushed garlic, but do not include breadcrumbs. Then add enough water to make a slightly thick batter. Mix thoroughly. Dip the calamari rings into this batter, then dip into the plain (unseasoned) breadcrumbs. Deep fry ( in small batches) for 1-2 minutes at about 375*F. Do not over cook or they will be chewy.
- I always serve this with homemade marinara sauce!
