Course: Main Cuisine: Spanish Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 5 minutes Marinate: 10 minutes Total Time: 15 minutes Servings: 2 servings Calories: 884.51kcal Author: David Pope


Ingredients

  • 1 pound calamari cleaned and sliced into ¼-inch rings
  • 30 g 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon of sweet paprika
  • ½ teaspoon of ground black pepper
  • Milk
  • Salt
  • Olive oil for frying
  • 2 bocadillo style bread rolls
  • 1 lemon sliced into wedges

For Garlic Alioli

  • 1 medium egg at room temperature
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic crushed

Instructions

  1. Place the calamari rings in a large mixing bowl and cover with milk. Leave in the fridge for at least 2 hours to tenderize. (Alternatively, marinate with lemon juice for 10 minutes, though this isn't quite as effective and can be harder to dry).
  2. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, paprika, and black pepper. Rinse the calamari in water and then dry by patting between 2 paper towels.
  3. Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add an inch of olive oil. Carefully take the calamari rings, dip them in the flour mixture, and fry in the olive oil 5-6 at a time. Remove from the pan when golden, about 1-2 minutes on either side.
  4. To prepare the aioli, combine the egg, salt, lemon juice and crushed garlic in the bowl of a stick blender (immersion blender). Place the stick blender at the base of the bowl, and blend at high speed, slowly adding the olive oil. When it starts to combine into a mayonnaise, carefully and slowly pull the stick blender upwards and remove when the alioli is ready.
  5. To prepare the bocadillo, cut the bread roll in half, place a few rings of calamari in there, and top with two spoonfuls of the aioli. Serve with a wedge of lemon.

And as always have a chilled day from the Viking
