How To Make parmesan calamari steaks
-
Step 1Mix together ingredients for egg dip and put calamari steaks in to soak for 15-30 minutes
-
Step 2While 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.
-
Step 3Double Bread steaks, out of dip into breading, back into egg, back into breading.
-
Step 4Fry 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
-
Step 5Remove from oil, blot on paper towels.
-
Step 6Serve 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
