Calamari

Ingredients

• 1 pound frozen calamari rings ((thawed; see notes))
• 1/2 cup milk
• 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 2/3 cup cornstarch
• 2 teaspoons dried dill
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. 1

   Combine the calamari and milk in a medium bowl. Give it a good mix then let it marinate for 15 minutes.

2. 2

   In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, dried dill, salt, and black pepper.

3. 3

   Take a handful of calamari, drop it into the dry mixture, and toss gently. Try to separate each piece of squid so that they are evenly coated and do not stick together.

4. 4

   Heat about 1 inch of oil to 350°F in a large pot over medium-high heat. Fry a handful of squid at a time for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.

5. 5

   Serve hot with tzatziki sauce!
