Ingredients for Fritto Misto

Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Breading

    In a bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).

  3. 3

    Bread the Calamari and Artichokes

    Dredge the calamari rings and artichoke hearts in the prepared flour mixture, ensuring they are well-coated.

  4. 4

    Fry the Ingredients

    Carefully add the breaded calamari and artichokes to the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes for the calamari and 3-4 minutes for the artichokes.

  5. 5

    Fry the Pepperoncini

    Add the whole pepperoncini to the hot oil for the last minute of frying until they are slightly blistered.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried ingredients to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with tomato sauce on the side and garnish with fresh parsley.
