Fried Calamari Rings
Description
Perfect for the table and with drinks. So, for your consideration—a recipe for fried calamari rings. If I cook something in batter or breadcrumbs, I always marinate it well. And I prefer a milk marinade. For calamari I add kiwi—it softens the fibers, so the calamari don’t turn out rubbery. When the calamari are ready, I spritz them with lemon. But that’s optional; you can pour sauce over them right away, or dip them in various ones, as we do. So both kids and adults will enjoy the dish. Fried calamari rings are an amazing appetizer, and I’m sharing its recipe.

Step 2
Pour milk into a bowl and slice the kiwi into it as well. Add the squid. Let them marinate in this milk marinade. It's best to marinate overnight, but if guests are about to arrive, you can leave them for an hour too :)

Step 3
Drain the calamari; it’s best to put them in a colander or sieve. In a bowl, mix the eggs with a little milk. On one plate nearby, put the flour; on another, the breadcrumbs. Fry them in this order: first coat in flour, then in the egg, then in the breadcrumbs. Fry in a deep fryer or in a pan with very hot vegetable oil (lots of oil :)) for about three minutes, until golden.
