Gluten Free Calamari
Gluten Free Calamari
- It’s difficult being Gluten Free but often there is a GF option. I like these calamari just as much as the regular versions. Based loosely on a Nigella Lawson recipe.
- Enough squid rings for two (Approx. 300g)
- ¼ cup cornmeal
- ¼ cup cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 1 cup groundnut oil
- Heat oil in a small but tall saucepan until it browns a piece of bread in 30 seconds.
- In a plastic bag combine cornmeal, cornstarch, and seasonings.
- Add squid and shake until coated.
- Working in batches fry the squid. If your squid is small, it could be done in 35-40 seconds. If it is larger, it could take as long as 2 minutes.
- If you overcook squid it will be rubbery.
- Serve immediately as a starter with a small salad and garlic, lemon mayo or as a main with fries or spicy tomato rice.
