Calamari Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Calamari

    In a bowl, combine flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge the calamari rings in the flour mixture until well-coated.

  2. 2

    Fry the Calamari

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the calamari in batches and fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Make the Champagne Garlic Butter

    In a separate small pan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the Champagne vinegar and cook for an additional minute.

  4. 4

    Combine and Serve

    In a serving dish, toss the fried calamari with sliced banana peppers, Champagne garlic butter, and fresh mint. Serve immediately.
