Calamari

Mango-Chile Mojo

Lime Aioli

Method

Preparation of Calamari

  1. 1

    Prepare the Calamari

    In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well to combine. Dredge the calamari rings in the flour mixture, ensuring they are well coated.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan or a heavy-bottomed pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  3. 3

    Fry the Calamari

    Carefully add the coated calamari rings to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until the calamari turns golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to remove the calamari and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Preparation of Mango-Chile Mojo

  1. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    In a blender or food processor, combine the diced mango, lime juice, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, minced jalapeño, and olive oil. Blend until smooth.

  2. 5

    Season the Mojo

    Taste the mojo and season with salt as needed. Set aside.

Preparation of Lime Aioli

  1. 6

    Mix the Aioli

    In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, lime juice, minced garlic, lime zest, and salt. Whisk together until smooth and well combined.
