I love calamares. I love the taste. I have to admit that when we order them in restaurants, I would end up eating most of them. I am just so glad that the serving is for 4-6 calamares rings only. My family said that they love the taste but it was just too chewy! Fair enough I suppose. Anyhow, each to each own taste.
Calamares Recipe
Ingredients:
1 kg squid, cleaned and cut into rings
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup flour
3 tbsp water
1 medium onion, chopped finely
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
salt & pepper to taste
Oil for deep-frying
Method of preparation:
Season the squid rings with salt and pepper, set aside for the moment.
Using a large bowl, beat the eggs. Add the flour and the water. Mix throughly until it turn into a smooth batter.
Add the onions and garlic to the batter and stir to incorporate.
Heat the oil, preferably in a wok.
Dip the squid rings into the batter and fry for 3-4 minutes or until the rings have turned golden.
Drain and serve with your favourite sauce, like sweet chilli sauce or mayonnaise.
Enjoy!
