Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Squid rings
- 100 grams All-purpose flour
- 50 grams Cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 500 ml Vegetable oil
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves
- 4 Cherry peppers (sliced)
- 2 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 4 wedges Lemon wedges
Instructions
Rinse the squid rings under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).
Dredge the squid rings in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
Fry the squid rings in small batches for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
In a separate large skillet, heat the extra-virgin olive oil over medium heat.
Add the garlic cloves (thinly sliced) and sliced cherry peppers. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
Add the fried squid rings to the skillet and toss to coat with the garlic and cherry peppers.
Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
