1
Prepare the Aioli
In a bowl, combine the preserved lemon, banana peppers, and a pinch of salt. Mix well and set aside.
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
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
Serve
Serve the fried calamari hot with the banana pepper aioli on the side.
