Salt and pepper Calamari

Ingredients:

(Serves 4)

3 squid hoods cleaned and turned inside out

Plain flour

Salt and pepper

1/2 tsp paprika

Oil for frying

Sweet chilli sauce (for the dip)

Method

Put the flour in a bowl and season with the salt and pepper and add the paprika. Slice the squid hood into rings and pat dry with kitchen paper. Put the rings in the flour and mix so they have a flour dusting. Then put them into a sieve and shake so any excess flour comes off. Heat the oil in a pan (it's hot enough when you drop a cube of bread in it and it starts to fry). Fry the dusted rings for 30 seconds (no more) and drain on kitchen paper. Serve immediately with the dipping sauce and a wedge of lemon. Serve and enjoy!
