Fried calamari

Instructions

1- step 1 Cut the squid into rings about ½cm thick.

2- Tip the flour into a freezer bag and season well.

3- Add the capers, then give everything a good shake to mix together.

4- Tip the squid into the bag, then shake again until all the rings are well coated.

5- Mix together the garlic and mayonnaise, then place in a serving bowl.

6- step 2 Pour some oil into a large pan until it comes about 7cm up the sides, but the pan is no more than a third full.

7- Place over a medium heat and let the oil warm up.

8- To test that the oil is ready, place a small piece of bread in the pan – it should sizzle when it touches the oil.

9- step 3 Remove a handful of squid from the flour and shake off any excess.

10- Gently drop into the oil, then cook for about 3 mins until crisp.

11- Remove with a slotted spoon and place on kitchen paper.

12- Repeat with the remaining squid.

13- Serve straight away with the mayonnaise and lemon wedges.
