Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 23

4 calamari steaks
1-2 fresh lemons
2 c oil for frying
EGG DIP
4 eggs, beaten
1/2 c sherry
1 tsp oregano, dried
1 tsp basil, dried
1 tsp thyme, dried
1 tsp parsley flakes
1/2 tsp white pepper
1/2 tsp salt
BREADING
1 1/2 c unseasoned bread crumbs
1/2 c parmesan cheese, shredded
1 tsp oregano, dried
1 tsp basil, dried
1 tsp thyme, dried
1 tsp parsley flakes
1/2 tsp white pepper
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp granulated garlic

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

CALAMARI PARMIGIANO RECIPE - (4.7/5)



Calamari Parmigiano Recipe - (4.7/5) image

Provided by GratefulSea

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 Calamari steaks
3/4 cup Panko or Italian Seasoned bread crumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
1/8 teaspoon Cayenne
1 jumbo or 2 smaller eggs (better yet, use EggBeaters), beaten
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
3 Garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons Lemon Juice
salt and pepper, to taste
2 slices Provolone cheese
1 Tablespoon fresh minced Parsley (dried parsley is okay in a pinch)
lemon slices for garnish

Steps:

  • Whisk together bread crumbs, Parmesan, and cayenne in a shallow bowl, such as a pie plate. Beat one egg in a second small bowl. Dip calamari steaks first into the egg, allowing excess to drip off, and then into the bread crumb mixture. Set aside on waxed paper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, then sauté the minced garlic for about 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium. Add the calamari steaks to the skillet, sprinkle top with a bit of lemon juice, then salt and pepper to taste, and cook no more than 3 minutes; don't move the steaks while they cook; they should release easily when the bread crumb coating is golden brown. Turn the steaks over, sprinkle with more lemon juice, salt and pepper, then lay a slice of provolone on top of each steak, cover and cook for another 3 minutes. Sprinkle parsley on top, garnish with lemon slices, and serve immediately.
