RECIPES

Salt and pepper calamari

Oil for deep frying

½cup corn starch 1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon finely ground pepper 1lb (500g) calamari rings

1 egg white

¼ cup of water

Sweet Thai Chili Sauce Lemon wedges

1.Fill deep fryer with oil to the 'MAX' level and set the temperature to 375°F.

2.Combine corn starch, salt, pepper, egg white and water. Add more water if necessary to reach a batter like consistency. Add to calamari in a large plastic bag. Shake bag to coat calamari evenly with batter mixture.

3.Deep fry in two small batches for approximately 3-4 minutes allowing the oil to recover to the correct temperature between each batch. Place basket

in 'Load or Drain' position, and allow excess oil to drain from food.

Serving suggestion: Serve with chili sauce, lemon wedges and salad as an appetizer or light meal.

NOTE:

When cooking foods coated with batter, lower the frying basket into the hot oil then carefully add coated food directly into the oil using metal tongs.

Placing coated food directly into the frying basket can cause some of the batter to adhere to the frying basket.
