This crispy squid recipe delivers big flavour in just a few minutes. The secret? Woolworths Patagonian squid tubes and tentacles, which fry up beautifully with a generous crack of black pepper. A punchy, home-made caper salt and Woolworths French-style mayonnaise take things to the next level. Serve as a starter, or pile onto a platter for a crowd-pleasing snack.
Ingredients
Method
-
For the caper salt:
- 1 T capers, rinsed and dried
- 1 T sea salt flakes
- 65 g flour
- 4 T cornflour
- 1 T sea salt flakes
- 2 t freshly cracked black pepper
- Woolworths frozen Patagonian squid tubes and tentacles 500 g, thawed and patted dry
- sunflower oil, for frying
- Woolworths French-style mayonnaise, for serving
Method
Ingredients
1. To make the caper salt, smash the capers and sea salt together until crumbly and fragrant. Set aside.
2. Mix the flour, cornflour, salt and pepper. Toss the squid in the mixture to coat.
3. Heat the oil in a shallow pan and fry the squid in batches until crisp and golden, about 2–3 minutes per side. Drain on kitchen paper.
4. Serve hot, with the mayonnaise and a sprinkle of caper salt.
Cook’s note: Fry the squid in batches so it stays crispy – overcrowding cools the oil too quickly.
