How to prepare it step by step?
Preparation
- Carefully clean the squid under the tap, removing the skin, viscera, and beak. Cut the tubes into rings of uniform thickness to ensure even cooking.
- Dry each ring well with absorbent paper; this step is crucial for the batter to adhere properly and the squid to remain crispy when fried.
- Beat the egg in a bowl and prepare another with the flour. Dip each ring first in the beaten egg and then in the flour, ensuring complete coverage.
- Heat plenty of oil in a frying pan or deep fryer over medium-high heat. When it is very hot, fry the rings in small batches to maintain the oil's temperature and achieve uniform browning. Look for a golden hue and a slight sizzle as visual cues.
- Remove the squid with a slotted spoon and place them on absorbent paper to remove excess fat.
- Add salt to taste just before serving to preserve its crunchy texture.
- Serve the Roman-style squid immediately, accompanied with lemon slices or aioli sauce. They are perfect as a tapa or starter.
