Ingredients
- 500 g fresh squid (cleaned and cut into rings or strips)
- 200 g all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- 150 ml milk
- 1 lemon (cut into wedges)
- vegetable oil (for frying)
- fresh parsley (for garnish)
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
Instructions
- Start by cleaning the squid. Remove the tentacles and any innards. Rinse them thoroughly under cold water, and then cut the squid into rings or strips, depending on your preference.
- In a bowl, prepare the batter. Whisk together the flour, eggs, and milk until you have a smooth batter. Season it with salt and pepper to taste.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or a deep fryer to about 180°C (356°F). You'll need enough oil to submerge the squid rings.
- Dip the squid rings into the batter, making sure they are well coated. Shake off any excess batter.
- Carefully place the battered squid rings into the hot oil, a few at a time, to avoid overcrowding. Fry them for about 2-3 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
- Use a slotted spoon or tongs to remove the fried squid from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Repeat the frying process with the remaining squid rings, ensuring the oil stays hot.
- Once all the squid rings are fried, arrange them on a serving platter. Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon wedges.
- Serve your Calamares a la Romana hot, with the lemon wedges for squeezing over the crispy squid.Enjoy your delicious Calamares a la Romana!
