Calamari Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Aioli

    In a bowl, combine the preserved lemon, banana peppers, and a pinch of salt. Mix well and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Calamari

    In a large bowl, mix together the flour, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper. Dredge the calamari rings in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.

  3. 3

    Fry the Calamari

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

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve the fried calamari hot with the banana pepper aioli on the side.
