Calamari and Salad

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Salad

    In a bowl, combine the julienned jicama, sliced radishes, lime juice, and chopped cilantro. Toss well and set aside to let the flavors meld.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Calamari

    In a bowl, mix the masa harina, salt, and black pepper. Pat the calamari rings dry with paper towels. Dredge each calamari ring in the masa harina mixture, ensuring they are well coated.

  3. 3

    Fry the Calamari

    In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Carefully add the coated calamari in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per batch. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Arrange the fried calamari on a serving platter, topped with the jicama radish salad. Drizzle with spicy sambal before serving.
