Answer 3

Calamari Fritti

I LOVE fried calamari! This is a very light beer batter, so you can actually enjoy the flavor of the seafood. Word to the wise: COVERED deep-frying works best here! I serve these with my Brown Sugar-Lemon Cocktail Sauce or Creamy Wasabi-Mustard Seafood Sauce.

1 1/2 lbs squid, cleaned and cut into 1 inch rings
1/2 cup flour
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
6 ounces beer
2 cups vegetable oil (for frying)

Combine flour, egg, beer, onion powder, garlic powder, garlic salt and pepper.
Dip 4 to 5 squid rings into batter to coat.
Deep fry in hot oil (about 350 degrees F on a candy/fryer thermometer) until tender and golden brown, generally no more than 45 seconds to 1 minute.
Don't overcrowd or they will take longer to brown and squid will become tough.
Remove squid with slotted spoon on drain on paper towel.
Serve with a dipping sauce if you like, or drench in freshly squeezed lemon!

Answer 5

GRILLED CALAMARI STEAKS
With red onion, roasted red pepper, and black olive paste
Serves 4

INGREDIENTS
2 red bell peppers
4 Fisherman's Pride® Calamari Steaks, defrosted and lightly scored, in a crisscross fashion, both sides
¼ cup olive oil
Freshly ground black pepper
1 medium to large red onion, sliced horizontally in ½ inch slices
1 piece of Foccacia (Ciabatta, or Tuscan bread) about 12 inches long, 3 inches wide
1 small jar (4 to 6 ounces black olive paste-Tapenade)
2 oz. mesclun salad
Assorted small yellow and red pear-shaped tomatoes, halved or left whole
8 dill sprigs

1. Char the red peppers directly over the open flame of a gas stove or broil them until their skins are black all over. Place them in a pot, cover with a lid and let them steam for 10 minutes.

2. Marinate the Calamari steaks in olive oil and freshly ground black pepper for 20 minutes.

3. Take the red peppers out of the pot when cool enough to handle. Cut them in half lengthwise, remove the core and seeds. Next scrape off and discard the blackened skin. Put the cleaned, roasted red peppers aside.

4. Preheat grill, or ridged grill pan. Brush the slices of red onion with a little oil. Grill them on each side until nicely colored but still fairly crisp.

5. Cut the foccacia into 4 pieces roughly the same size as the Calamari Steaks and then cut in half horizontally as for a sandwich.

6. Grill the Calamari Steaks for 1 minute each side. Lastly, toast the foccacia (ciabatta or Tuscan bread) on the grill and spread the bottom slice with the black olive paste.

7. To assemble: Lay the foccacia, spread with black olive paste, on a serving platter, top with a half of a red pepper, then a Calamari Steak (sprinkled with salt), then a slice of red onion and finally the top piece of foccacia. It's all right if the pepper, Calamari Steak and onion overlap the bread. Place on a small bed of mesclun salad. Garnish with tomatoes and sprigs of dill.

Answer 7

One of two ways for me.

Grilled Calamari Steaks with Scampi Butter

4 Calamari Steaks
Olive oil to coat
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Scampi Butter:
1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 clove garlic, minced
2-3 sprigs fresh parsley, finely chopped
1/4 cup dry white wine
juice of 1/2 lemon
Preheat grill according to manufacturer's suggestion.

Make Scampi Butter: combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl until evenly distributed. Place butter mixture on sheet of foil and roll it to make a thick cylinder. Refrigerate.
Rub calamari steaks with olive oil, and season to taste. Place steaks on grill, allowing char marks to form. Rotate steaks 90 degrees to form classic hash marks. Flip and repeat, cooking until cooked to desired doneness. DO NOT OVERCOOK!
Serve immediately, garnished with a disc of fresh Scampi Butter melting on steak.


OR;

Calamari Steak Almondine

1 Calamari steak
6 ounces cooked fettuccine
1/4 cup flour
salt and freshly ground pepper
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1/2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1/2 tbsp butter
1/8 cup slivered almonds
2/3 cup cream
1 tbsp honey
1 Granny Smith apple (1/2 diced and 1/2 thinly sliced)

Cook fettuccine in salted, boiling water according to manufacturer's directions. Season steak, dredge in flour. Heat oil and butter over medium high in saute pan; add slivered almonds and garlic. After 10-15 seconds, add steak, browning slightly on both sides. Add cream, honey and apple dice. Reduce cream for three to four minutes, until it coats the back of a spoon. Center fettuccini on plate, top with steak and nap with creamy almond sauce. Garnish with freshly-grated Parmeggiano Reggiano, paper-thin apple slices and a sprig of parsley.
This is for one serving.
