Fritto Misto Ingredients

Method

Fritto Misto Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Breading

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

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

    Add the ice-cold water to the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth. The batter should be light and slightly thick.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep pot or fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 180°C (350°F).

  4. 4

    Fry the Ingredients

    Dredge the rock shrimp, calamari, onion, zucchini, and olives in the batter, allowing excess to drip off. Carefully place them into the hot oil in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the fritto misto hot with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over.
