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

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover calamari. I had some leftover from a seafood boil and this was a great way to use it up.

The calamari was a bit chewy, but the Parmesan crust was delicious. I think I would cook the calamari for a shorter amount of time next time.
