Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Calamari

    Clean the calamari and cut into rings. Pat dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Batter the Calamari

    In a bowl, season the flour with salt and black pepper. Dredge the calamari rings in the seasoned flour until well coated.

  3. 3

    Fry the Calamari

    Heat olive oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Fry the calamari in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per batch. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Vinaigrette

    In a small bowl, whisk together minced garlic, red wine vinegar, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to taste.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the fried calamari, diced tomatoes, chopped piquante peppers, and grated pecorino cheese. Drizzle with garlic vinaigrette and toss gently to combine.
