Fritto Misto Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Breading

    In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Coat the Ingredients

    Dredge the calamari, shrimp, zucchini, and bell pepper strips in the flour mixture until evenly coated. Shake off any excess flour.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large, deep skillet or pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).

  4. 4

    Fry the Ingredients

    Carefully add the coated seafood and vegetables in batches to the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes for seafood and 3-4 minutes for vegetables. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Transfer the fritto misto to a serving platter, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
