Ingredients
For the calamari
- 400g/14oz squid tubes
- plain white flour to coat
- salt and pepper to taste
- oil for deep-frying
For the lemon mayonnaise
- 4 tbsp mayonnaise
- ½ a lemon, juiced
- 3 sprigs of dill, chopped
Method
-
For the calamari, open up the squid tubes and slice into 2cm/¾in strips.
-
Coat with flour and season.
-
Place in the fridge for 2 hours. By doing this you’ll find the flour will melt onto the squid creating a form of self-batter. When fried it will be deliciously crisp. It is not a traditional method, but an excellent alternative.
-
Deep fry in hot oil until golden brown, drain on kitchen towel and serve with lemon mayonnaise.
-
For the lemon mayonnaise, mix all ingredients together and serve with the calamari.
