The following is an example recipe for an exquisite Fried Calamari
Ingredients
3 cups vegetable oil
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
12 squid, cleaned and sliced into rings
1 lemon - cut into wedges, for garnish
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro leaves, for garnish
Directions
1. Preheat oil in a deep, frying pan or pot. Oil should be heated to 365 degrees F (180 degrees C).
2. In a medium to large mixing bowl mix together flour, salt, oregano, cumin, chili powder, and black pepper. Dredge squid through flour and spice mixture.
3. Place squid in oil for no more than 2 minutes until light brown in color. Beware of overcooking; squid will be tough if overcooked. Dry the calamari on paper towels or mesh cooking rack. Garnish with cilantro leaves and serve with wedges of lemon.
