Cook Book
My recipes that my mother and I have compiled together. I know it seems kind of dorky but it's very important to me. They really aren't "secret" recipes, so I feel no shame with sharing them with the people of Gaia.
King Calamari
Ingredients

* 2 lbs cleaned squid
* 1 cup olive oil
* 1 cup white wine (dry)
* 1 lemon (you need the juice)
* 1/16 cup sea salt
* 1/16 cup fresh ground pepper
* 2 cups flour
* 4 quarts hot fat for frying

Directions

1.Clean the squid and separate the tentacles. Cut the tubes into 1/2 inch pieces.

2.Mix together the olive oil, the lemon juice and white wine. Put the cut squid (including tentacles) into it and let it sit for two hours in refrigerator (covered).

3.Drain the squid and tentacles in a colander. Pat it all dry. Toss in the flour with salt and pepper mixed in, shaking off the excess.

4.In batches, drop all into hot fat for 30-45 seconds and fry

5.Drain all on a paper towel. Keep the dish warm in the oven while you cook the rest the same way.

6.Serve with hot marinara or sauce of your choice.

Enjoy. heart
