Method

  1. Clean the calamari: remove the internal part, peel off the skin, and rinse under water. For the tentacles, remove the eyes and the mouth.
  2. Dry the calamari thoroughly.
  3. Prepare the breading: mix semolina with chopped fresh herbs (Roman mint, thyme, wild fennel, parsley) and dried oregano.
  4. Bread the calamari just before frying, shaking off excess coating.
  5. Heat sunflower seed oil to 170°C (340°F).
  6. Fry the calamari in small batches to maintain oil temperature.
  7. Drain and season with salt while still hot.
  8. Serve with tartar sauce (recipe not included in this video) and optionally with lemon.
