Method

Preparation of Calamari

  1. 1

    Clean the Calamari

    Begin by cleaning the calamari. Remove the head and innards, then peel off the skin. Rinse under cold water and cut into rings.

  2. 2

    Boil or Fry

    You can either boil the calamari in salted water for 2-3 minutes or fry them in hot oil until golden brown. If frying, make sure the oil is hot enough to prevent the calamari from becoming rubbery.

Preparation of Mustard Sauce

  1. 3

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well blended.

  2. 4

    Add Fresh Parsley

    Finally, fold in the chopped fresh parsley into the mustard sauce for added flavor and freshness.

Serve

  1. 5

    Plate the Calamari

    Once the calamari is cooked, drain and place them on a serving platter.

  2. 6

    Serve with Sauce

    Serve the calamari hot with the mustard sauce on the side for dipping.
