Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

¾ cup calamari rings and tentacles
1 lemon, juiced
¾ cup all purpose flour
½ cup corn starch
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons food grade activated charcoal
¼ cup black sesame seeds
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
1 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon squid ink
6 cups vegetable oil, for frying
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, for garnish
4 lemon wedges, for serving
1 cup mayonnaise
1 clove garlic, grated
1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
½ teaspoon lemon juice
1 ½ teaspoons squid ink
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
black sesame seed, for topping

Steps:

  • Make the calamari: In a large bowl, toss the calamari with the lemon juice. Let sit for 30 minutes to help tenderize the calamari.
  • While the calamari tenderizes, make the aioli: In a medium bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, garlic, white wine vinegar, lemon juice, squid ink, and salt until smooth. Transfer to a serving bowl and chill until ready to serve.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, salt, pepper, activated charcoal, black sesame seeds, and smoked paprika.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and squid ink until fully combined.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 375°F (190°C).
  • Working in batches, transfer the calamari to the flour mixture and toss to coat. Transfer to the buttermilk mixture, toss to coat, then return to the flour mixture and toss until fully coated.
  • Immediately transfer the calamari to the hot oil and fry for 2-3 minutes, until crispy. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat with the remaining calamari.
  • Transfer the calamari to a serving platter. Sprinkle with the parsley and garnish with lemon wedges. Top the aioli with more black sesame seeds and serve alongside.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use fresh squid ink. Fresh squid ink has a brighter flavor and color than frozen or jarred squid ink. If you can't find fresh squid ink, you can use a high-quality jarred or frozen brand.
  • Be careful not to overcook the mussels. Mussels are very delicate and can easily become overcooked. Cook them just until they open, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Serve the fettuccine immediately. Squid ink fettuccine is best served immediately after it is made. The pasta will start to lose its color and flavor if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Squid ink fettuccine with black mussels is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The squid ink gives the pasta a unique flavor and color, and the mussels add a briny sweetness. This dish is sure to impress your guests.
