This calamari is so juicy and tender. The squid is tenderised by overnight soaking in milk. Tossed in flour and deep fried. Serve with a squeeze of lemon and a salad on the side. Any quantities of squid can be used for this recipe- just adjust ingredient amounts to suit.

SERVES 4 -6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Slcie the squid into rings and place in a small mixing bowl.
  2. 2
    Cover the squid with milk (use more or less as required. Add garlic and season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for 24 hours (or at least overnight).
  3. 3
    Drain the calamari and discard the milk. Pat dry with kitchen paper.
  4. 4
    Toss calamari in flour. I use a large plastic bag to do this.
  5. 5
    Deep fry until golden. Serve hot.
  6. 6
    Do not overcook the calamari as it may toughen.
  7. 7

Most definitely made this recipe for some neighbors for their dinner the other night ~ They'd expressed an interest in some unusual seafoods, so . . . I cut the recipe in half & since I knew nothing at all about making this kind of dish, I followed the ingredients & directions to a T! Enjoyed making it, & was just as happy taking it next door rather than serving it here! That, along with several servings of mussels, & my neighbors were in heaven & LOVED BOTH DISHES, thought me a master chef (big laugh!) & couldn't praise this dish enough! So, definitely a 5 star rating! [Made & reviewed while touring Italy on Zaar's World Tour 4]

    Yummy! This is so delicious, I marinated a little longer then 24 hours and it was so tender. The garlic flavour soaked into the chicken but it was not overwhelming. Only change I made was I substituted the milk and used lactose free milk. Thank you **Jubes**

    We had this as part of a seafood platter and it was delicious. The DH was a bit sceptical as any time he has marinated squid in milk it has NOT come out tender but this was beautifully tender with a lovely garlic flavour. I only marinated 1 tube but did put in a full clove of garlic - would only recommend that if you really like your garlic (we do). Thank you **Jubes** for a keeper.
