Homemade Low Fat Fried Calamari
the easiest way to make delicious fried calamari for 6 people without spend a fortune
Difficulty: Moderate
Things You'll Need:
- Electric fryer or a 6" deep frying pan.
- 2 quarts of vegetable oil, canola or sunflower
- Half bag of all purpose flour
- 3 pounds of fresh or frozen cleaned calamari with or without tentacles.
- salt and pepper
- 2 red peppers
- 10 black olives
- paper towels
- pasta colander
Step 1
Cut the calamari tubes about 1/2 inch or a little less, making little rings, if you are using the tentacles do not cut them
after the cuts, wash them in the colander and let it sit in the fridge for about 3 hours having a plate underneath the colander for the extra water the wetness will make the calamari sticky
Cut the red peppers in small pieces and also open the black olives getting rid of the olive bone or buy pitted olive
After the 3 hr. take the calamari from the colander hand put them in a plate because you will need the colander to shake away the extra flour before you fry them
Plunge a hand full of calamari in a deep plate with a handful of flour and mix it . Use the colander to shake the extra flour back into the plate. Make sure the oil is hot before you plunge the mix into it
After 7 - 8 minutes you can take the calamari out if they are golden brown and crispy. and 1 or 2 minutes maximum before that, you can mix the next portion of calamari and be ready to emerge them into the hot oil
Salt and pepper them as you wish in a plate with the paper towels to keep them warm, use the oven at 150- 180 degrees until you are ready to serve
Last step is to coat the red peppers and the black olives fry them using the same procedure and spread them out on top of the fried calamari and enjoy
