Breaded Calamari Steaks Recipes

BREADED CALAMARI STEAKS

Steps:

• Place calamari steaks in large bowl and cover with buttermilk. Let set for 15-30 minutes.
• Whisk together eggs, Tabaso sauce and 1/2 cup of milk. Pour into flat dish or pie pan and set aside.
• Mix flour, cumin, chile powder, garlic powder and salt and pepper. Put into flat dish or pie plan and set aside.
• Put bread crumbs into flat dish or pie pan.
• Heat oil in large skillet.
• Drain calamari.
• When oil is very hot, dredge the clamari in the flour mixture, then dip into the egg and then dredge in the breadcrumbs.
• Fry in oil until golden brown on one side then immediately turn over and fry till golden brown on the other. This takes about 1-2 minutes total. Drain on paper towels.
• Serve and enjoy.

PARMESAN CALAMARI STEAKS

Steps:

• 1. Mix together ingredients for egg dip and put calamari steaks in to soak for 15-30 minutes
• 2. While steaks are soaking mix together breading ingredients. Start heating oil to shimmering. I use canola or vegetable and only enough to half cover the steaks. I do not completely cover in oil. Olive oil will throw the taste off completely. I speak from experience on that one.
• 3. Double Bread steaks, out of dip into breading, back into egg, back into breading.
• 4. Fry steaks until golden on one side then flip. About 2 1/2 minutes a side. DO NOT OVERCOOK or these will be like chewing rubber bands
• 5. Remove from oil, blot on paper towels.
• 6. Serve with a squeeze of fresh lemon. (bottled is ok if you don't have fresh) * Note: I served with a artichoke and will also have this recipe posted for your enjoyment
