Préparation

1. 1

   Grab a mortar, and add 2 cloves of garlic which are minced into it.

2. 2

   Pinch ½ a teaspoon of high quality saffron threads. The garlic and the saffron should form a paste by using a pestle pound down.

3. 3

   ½ cup of mayonnaise, one teaspoon of fresh lemon juice, and one tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil need to add into the mortar. Season them with sea salt and cracked black pepper. Now combine all of them.

   Cover the creamy texture that you have made with some saran wrap. Set aside.

5. 5

   Cut 3 cleaned tubes of squid, which are pated down with some paper towels, into half-inch thick rings.

6. 6

   Season ½ cup of all-purpose flour, and ¼ cup of corn starch which are added into a bowl with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper. Mix them together.

7. 7

   Grab a separate bowl, and crack in 2 eggs and season with sea salt and beat them together.

8. 8

   The first step for coating the squid rings is putting each one into the flour combination, then into the egg wash and then put back them into the flour mixture, continue until all the squid rings are fully covered and coated.

9. 9

   Add one cup of sunflower oil into a fry pan which is over a medium-high heat. Add squid rings in the hot oil, and flip them to fry other side after one minute.
