Fried calamari

Ingredients

• 300g Squid
• 200g Plain Flour
• 2 tblsp Capers
• 1 clove peeled crushed Garlic
• 5 tblsp Mayonnaise
• For frying Vegetable Oil
• To serve Lemon

Instructions

1. Cut the squid into rings about 5 mm thick. Place the flour in a bowl or sturdy bag, season well with salt and pepper and add the capers. Mix to combine, then add the squid and toss until all the rings are evenly coated.
2. Mix the mayonnaise with the crushed garlic in a small bowl until smooth and set aside.
3. Pour the vegetable oil into a large deep pan so it comes about 7 cm up the sides, making sure the pan is no more than one third full. Heat over medium heat until hot; a small piece of bread should sizzle when added.
4. Shake off any excess flour from a small batch of squid and carefully lower into the hot oil. Fry for about 3 minutes until golden and crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper. Repeat with the remaining squid in batches.
5. Serve immediately with the garlic mayonnaise and lemon wedges.
