Salt-and-pepper squid with summer salsa

By Abigail Donnelly

Easy
20 minutes
10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 800 g calamari tubes
  • 500 g rice flour
  • 1 T sea salt
  • 2 T freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • For the salsa, mix:

  • 4 ripe tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 red onion, chopped
  • 1/2 cup coriander, chopped
  • 1-2 fresh chilli, chopped
  • 1 T malt vinegar
  • 2 T olive oil
  • 1/2 lemon, juiced

Method

Rinse and clean the squid tubes and pat dry before slicing into rings.

In a mixing bowl, mix the rice flour, salt and pepper until combined.

Place a large pan over a medium to high heat and add the oil. Dust the squid rings in the seasoned flour, then fry, in batches, for 1 to 2 minutes or until crisp, golden and tender.

Remove using a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper.

Serve hot topped with the salsa.
