Time 25m

Yield Serves 6 as a starter

Number Of Ingredients 7

300g baby squid , cleaned
200g plain flour
2 tbsp caper , drained and finely chopped
1 garlic clove , crushed
5 tbsp mayonnaise
vegetable or sunflower oil , for frying
lemon wedges, to serve

Steps:

  • Cut the squid into rings about ½cm thick. Tip the flour into a freezer bag and season well. Add the capers, then give everything a good shake to mix together. Tip the squid into the bag, then shake again until all the rings are well coated. Mix together the garlic and mayonnaise, then place in a serving bowl.
  • Pour some oil into a large pan until it comes about 7cm up the sides, but the pan is no more than a third full. Place over a medium heat and let the oil warm up. To test that the oil is ready, place a small piece of bread in the pan - it should sizzle when it touches the oil.
  • Remove a handful of squid from the flour and shake off any excess. Gently drop into the oil, then cook for about 3 mins until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on kitchen paper. Repeat with the remaining squid. Serve straight away with the mayonnaise and lemon wedges.
