I tried calamari 3 years ago and fell in love,
I couldn't pass this recipe up! The recipe doesn't
show how many it will feed.
For the calamari:
1lb clean calamari, with tentacles cut into 1/2" rings
1/2c flour
1/4c cornstarch
1/2tsp salt
1/2tsp pepper
1/2tsp paprika
1-2c veggie oil for frying
For the tabasco & honey drizzle:
1 1/2T honey
2 dashes tabasco sauce
For the cilantro aioli:
3/4c mayo
1/2c cilantro leaves
1/2tsp salt
1/4tsp pepper
1/2tsp cumin
1tsp lime juice and the zest
Make your calamari:
Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium high heat.
While it's heating cut your squid into the 1/2" rings.
Mix flour, cornstarch and spices in a large bowl, then add
calamari rings and toss until completely coated.
Once the oil is hot enough add 1/4 of the calamari and fry
for 3-4 minutes. Place cooked calamari on a large platter
with a paper towel, continue to cook the remaining calamari.
For the tabasco & honey drizzle; just mix the 2 together
and drizzle over your hot calamari.
For the cilantro aioli, in a blender combine all ingredients
until smooth. Serve as a dipping sauce for your calamari.
