Indulge in crispy calamari paired with tangy dip for a mouthwatering weekend treat.
Ingredients:
  • 400g cleaned squid tubes
  • 50g (1/3 cup) plain flour
  • 210g (3 cups) fresh breadcrumbs (made from day-old bread)
  • Salt & freshly ground black pepper
  • Vegetable oil, to deep-fry
  • Lime wedges, to serve
  • 80ml (1/3 cup) fresh lime juice
  • 80ml (1/3 cup) peanut oil
  • 40.00 ml chopped fresh coriander leaves
  • 1 tsp finely grated lime rind
  • Pinch of caster sugar
Instructions:
  • Prepare the flavorful dipping sauce by blending lime juice, peanut oil, coriander, lime zest, and sugar in a food processor until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste before setting it aside for later use.
  • Dry squid tubes with paper towel. Slice into 1cm-thick rings. Mix eggs and mustard in a bowl. Spread flour and breadcrumbs on separate plates. Season flour with salt and pepper. Dredge calamari rings in flour, then dip in egg mixture and coat thoroughly with breadcrumbs.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a large heavy-based saucepan until it reaches a depth of about 15cm. Test the oil readiness by ensuring a cube of bread turns golden brown in 10 seconds. Cook one-third of the calamari until golden brown, for about 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel using a slotted spoon. Repeat with remaining calamari in two more batches, reheating the oil between batches. Season with salt.
  • Accompany with dipping sauce, fresh salad leaves, and lime wedges.
