Steps:
- You can prepare this in advance and set it aside or prepare it while the tomato sauce is cooking. In a skillet melt butter and saute finely diced shallot until soft and no longer translucent. Add breadcrumbs and toast until nutty and slightly brown. Stir in fresh herbs and set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, and saute sliced shallot for 3 minutes until fragrant and no longer translucent. Add white wine, stir and cook for additional 2 minutes.
- Add tomatoes, capers, peppers, and a pinch of crushed red pepper to the pan and cook together for 12-15 minutes stirring frequently. Add a generous pinch of salt and black pepper. Taste sauce for seasoning, and adjust as needed.
- Prepare calamari, pat dry and slice into rounds. Add to pan and cook for 2 minutes. Do not overcook or the calamari will turn rubbery.
- Top calamari with breadcrumbs and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Cut the tentacles off the squid and put in a bowl. Slice the squid tubes into roughly 1cm thick rings and add to the bowl. Heat the oil in a large heavy-based pan over a low heat, ensuring it is no more than two-thirds full.
- For the aïoli, mix the mayonnaise, garlic, saffron and lemon juice in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Toss the squid with the flour, cornflour, baking powder, cayenne and ½ tsp salt. When the oil has reached 170C on a thermometer, or when a cube of bread is dropped in and turns golden brown in 30 seconds, deep-fry the squid in batches for 2 mins, or until lightly golden and crisp. Set aside on a tray lined with kitchen paper. Serve the fried squid with the aïoli on the side for dipping.

Steps:
- Halve peperoncini and discard stems and seeds. Rinse and pat dry, then mince enough to measure 1/4 cup. Stir into mayonnaise in a small bowl.
- Rinse squid under cold running water and lightly pat dry between paper towels, leaving some moisture so rice flour will stick. Leave tentacles whole and cut bodies (including flaps, if attached) crosswise into 1/3-inch-wide rings, then reserve separately on paper towels.
- Heat 2 inches oil in a 4- to 5-quart heavy pot (4 inches deep; preferably cast-iron) over high heat until it registers 390°F on thermometer.
- Preheat oven to 200°F.
- While oil is heating, whisk together flour, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper in a shallow bowl. Have ready a medium-mesh sieve in another shallow bowl.
- Dredge a small handful of squid rings in flour mixture, tossing to coat well. Transfer to sieve and shake over other bowl to remove excess flour. Return excess flour to first bowl.
- Fry floured rings in oil, stirring to separate, until golden, about 1 minute, then transfer with a slotted spoon to dry paper towels to drain, arranging in 1 layer.
- Coat and fry remaining rings in about 3 more batches in same manner, returning oil to 390°F between batches. Transfer fried and drained rings to a shallow baking pan in 1 layer and keep warm, uncovered, in middle of oven.
- Coat and fry tentacles in 2 or 3 batches until golden, about 1 1/2 minutes per batch, returning oil to 390°F between batches and transferring as fried to paper towels, then to baking pan.
- Serve with peperoncini mayonnaise for dipping.
