Servings: 2
Ingredients
- Lemon
- 1, cut into wedges
- Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons
- Baguette
- 1, long
- Vegetable Oil
- 2 cups, for frying
- Black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon, ground
- Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon
- Bread crumbs
- 1 cup
- Egg
- 1, beaten
- All-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup
- Squid rings
- 500 grams
Instructions
- Thoroughly clean the squid rings and pat them dry with paper towels.
- Season the squid rings evenly with salt and pepper.
- In a separate bowl, dredge the squid rings in flour, shaking off any excess. Next, dip the floured rings in the beaten egg, ensuring they're fully coated.
- Roll the egg-dipped squid rings in the bread crumbs, pressing lightly to adhere.
- Heat the oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, fry the breaded squid rings in batches until they turn a golden brown. This should take about 2-3 minutes per batch. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan.
- Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried squid rings and drain them on paper towels.
- Meanwhile, slice the baguette in half lengthwise and spread a generous layer of mayonnaise on both sides.
- Fill the baguette with the fried squid rings while they're still hot.
- Serve the Bocadillo de Calamares immediately with a wedge of lemon on the side. Encourage your guests to squeeze the lemon juice over the sandwich for an added zest that complements the flavors beautifully.
