Calamari Dorè Recipe

  Italian Seafood

Ingredients:
12 cleaned calamari filets
1 lemon (zest and juice)
2 cups flour
1 tsp. fresh chopped parsley
salt and black pepper to taste
2 eggs
2 tblsp. water
olive oil
2 tblsp. butter

Directions:
Peel two tablespoons of zest from lemon and place in bowl. Mix in flour, parsley, salt and pepper. Prepare egg batter in separate mixing bowl by beating eggs with 2 tablespoons of water. Dip squid in flour then into egg, then back into the flour and into the egg.

In a non-stick skillet (a pancake grill works great) set over a high heat, add olive oil and butter. When hot, add 3-4 filets at a time. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over filets and serve. Optional: you could use a slightly smaller pan as a press to keep squid from curling.
