Breaded Calamari Steaks Food

CALAMARI STEAKS PARMIGIANO

Steps:

• Slice the calamari tubes open so they can lay flat. Rinse and pat dry; set aside. Mix the bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese together in a pie tin or on a plate. Pour the milk into a separate dish. Dip the calamari steaks in milk, then press into the bread crumb mixture to coat.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Quickly add the steaks and cook until golden brown on each side, about 3 minutes per side. They should be golden brown but be careful not to over cook or they will be tough.
• Reduce heat to low and add garlic and then spaghetti sauce to the pan. Top each steak with a slice of provolone cheese. Cover with a lid just until the cheese has melted, about 2 minutes.

BREADED CALAMARI

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oil in a heavy, deep frying pan or pot. Oil should be heated to 365º.
• 2. In a medium mixing bowl, mix together flour, salt, oregano, and black pepper.
• 3. Dredge squid through flour and spice mixture.
• 4. Place breaded squid in oil for 2-3 minutes (I like to go for 2:30), or until light brown. Beware of overcooking, as it will be tough if overcooked.
• 5. Dry on paper towels, serve with wedges of lemon.

PARMESAN CALAMARI STEAKS

Steps:

• 1. Mix together ingredients for egg dip and put calamari steaks in to soak for 15-30 minutes
• 2. While steaks are soaking mix together breading ingredients. Start heating oil to shimmering. I use canola or vegetable and only enough to half cover the steaks. I do not completely cover in oil. Olive oil will throw the taste off completely. I speak from experience on that one.
• 3. Double Bread steaks, out of dip into breading, back into egg, back into breading.
• 4. Fry steaks until golden on one side then flip. About 2 1/2 minutes a side. DO NOT OVERCOOK or these will be like chewing rubber bands
• 5. Remove from oil, blot on paper towels.
• 6. Serve with a squeeze of fresh lemon. (bottled is ok if you don't have fresh) * Note: I served with a artichoke and will also have this recipe posted for your enjoyment
