Ingredients
- Ingredients
- 1 kilogram Calamari ready to cook (fresh and trimmed
- ½ lemon (juiced)
- salt
- freshly ground peppers
- 1 l vegetable oil (for frying)
- 100 grams Pastry flour
- 2 Tbsps freshly chopped parsley
- 1 Red chili pepper
Preparation steps
Rinse calamari, pat dry and cut into 1 cm (approximately 1/2 inch) thick rings. Leave tentacles whole and season with lemon juice, salt and pepper.
Heat some oil in a saucepan. To check if oil is hot enough, hold a wooden stick in oil. When small bubbles form around the spoon it is hot enough (approximately 170°C or 350°F). Place flour in a bowl or deep plate and cover calamari rings with flour. Tap off excess flour and place calamari, in portions, on a slotted spoon. Carefully slide calamari into hot oil and fry for about 1 minute until golden brown. Turn rings over in oil as needed for uniform color and then remove with a slotted spoon when calamari are crispy. Place fried calamari on paper towels to drain until all calamari fried (or in a preheated 100°C (approximately 200°F) oven to keep warm).
Arrange fried calamari in bowls or on plates and serve garnished with parsley and chile pepper. Drizzle with lemon juice if desired.
