Buffalo Calamari Ingredients

Preparation

Cooking Directions

1. Prepare the Calamari

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, whisk together the egg and buttermilk. Dip the calamari rings into the buttermilk mixture, then dredge them in the flour mixture until fully coated.

2. Fry the Calamari

In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the olive oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry the calamari in batches for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

3. Toss with Buffalo Sauce

In a large mixing bowl, combine the fried calamari, banana peppers, and cherry tomatoes. Drizzle with Buffalo sauce and toss until evenly coated.

4. Serve

Plate the Buffalo calamari, top with crumbled bleu cheese, and drizzle with balsamic reduction before serving.
