Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 3 cloves Garlic, Thinly Sliced
- 1/2 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes, Or More To Taste
- 15 whole Peeled Tomatoes
Instructions
- For the spicy marinara dipping sauce, in a medium pot over medium heat, add olive oil, garlic and red pepper flakes. Toast for 2 –3 minutes until garlic is golden. Add tomatoes and simmer for another 5 minutes.
- Transfer the contents to a blender and puree on high. Put sauce back into the pot and simmer on low heat until sauce thickens slightly. Set aside.
- For the calamari, in a medium mixing bowl, whisk together rice flour, kosher salt and beer until smooth. Set aside.
- In a large pot fitted with a thermometer, heat oil over medium heat.
- While oil is heating, pat squid dry with a paper towel and toss squid with cornstarch in a medium bowl. Add squid rings and tentacles to the batter.
- When oil reaches between 350-375 ºF, carefully add about 8 pieces of batter-coated squid to the pot. Stir carefully with a slotted spoon until golden and crispy, about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined sheet pan and continue to fry in batches.
- When squid is done, pile on a serving platter and serve with warm spicy marinara for dipping and a few lemon wedges on the side.
