Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

700g calamari (25 oz.)
100g bread flour (3.5 oz.)
50g semolina flour (1.5 oz.)
1 tbsp peppercorns (or ground pepper)
2 tbsps salt
1/2 tbsp paprika (optional)
1 tbsp oregano (optional)
vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

To prepare this super easy fried calamari recipe, clean the calamari and wash thoroughly. Using a sharp knife cut the calamari in slices, approx. 1 cm each. This will create the rings, as seen in the picture below. Place the calamari rings on some paper towel to get ride of the excessive water.
Prepare the seasoning for the fried calamari. In a blender add the seasoning and pulse until powdered. (Alternatively you can use a pestle.)
In a large sandwich bag or tupperware add the flour and seasoning. Place in the sliced calamari and shake well to coat (you will need to do this in batches). Remove the calamari onto a plate, shaking of any excess flour.
Into a medium sized frying pan pour enough vegetable oil to deep fry the calamari. Heat the oil to medium high heat until it begins to bubble. Test if the oil is hot enough by dipping one of the calamari rings in; if it sizzles the oil is ready. Fry the calamari in batches for about 2-3 minutes, until nicely golden.
Remove the fried calamari using a slotted spoon and place on some paper towel to dry for 1-2 minutes. Have a taste and sprinkle with some more salt.
Enjoy this delicious Greek fried calamari recipe with a last minute squeeze of a lemon.

Defrost calamari according to package directions. (Note that we purchase our calamari in the frozen seafood section of the supermarket because it is not always easily available fresh. The benefit is that the calamari is already cleaned.)
Rinse the calamari bodies and tentacles in cold water. Cut the calamari bodies into 1/2 inch tubes. Dry them off well by laying flat on paper towels and dabbing with additional paper towels.
Mix the flour, salt, ground pepper and dried parsley in a shallow baking dish. Dredge the calamari in batches making sure to coat well with the flour mixture. (Note, you may need to work the flour into the inside of the tubes.)
Add 2-3 inches of extra virgin olive oil to a deep frying pan. Heat the oil until it reaches a temperature of 375° F. (Note we use a cooking thermometer for liquids to measure the temperature of the oil.) Shake off any excess flour from the calamari and then add the calamari in small batches to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the frying pan with the calamari. Overcrowding the pan will reduce the cooking temperature of the olive oil and it will take longer for the calamari to cook which could result in soggy calamari.
