CRISPY SALT & PEPPER SQUID GLUTEN FREE
Ingredients
  • 5 whole squid (roughly 1kg), cleaned and scored
  • 2 egg whites, whisked
  • 1 cup tapioca flour or potato starch flour
  • 1 tablespoon sea salt flakes
  • 1 teaspoon cracked pepper
  • Extra virgin olive oil to fry*
  • Handful of fresh mint and parsley, finely chopped
  • Lemon wedges to serve
  • Good quality extra virgin olive oil has a smoke point between 200 - 210C, well above the 180C required for frying.
Instructions
  1. Combine the flour, salt and pepper in a shallow bowl.
  2. Dip squid in egg white, drip off excess. Coat squid well in flour, dust off excess.
  3. Heat oil in a large frypan until it reaches 180C. Fry squid for 1 - 2 minutes until crisp and drain on a wire rack instead of a paper towel to stop squid going soggy.
  4. Garnish with herbs and serve with lemon wedges.
