Calamari Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Calamari

    Clean the calamari by removing the head and innards. Rinse thoroughly under cold water and slice the body into rings.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In one bowl, place the flour mixed with salt and pepper. In a second bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, place the breadcrumbs.

  3. 3

    Bread the Calamari

    Dredge the calamari rings in flour, dip them in the beaten eggs, and then coat them with breadcrumbs.

  4. 4

    Fry the Calamari

    Heat the olive oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Fry the calamari in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per batch. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the fried calamari hot with peppadew peppers on the side and marinara sauce for dipping. Garnish with lemon wedges.
