Breaded Calamari Steaks Recipes

Steps:

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

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oil in a heavy, deep frying pan or pot. Oil should be heated to 365º.
• 2. In a medium mixing bowl, mix together flour, salt, oregano, and black pepper.
• 3. Dredge squid through flour and spice mixture.
• 4. Place breaded squid in oil for 2-3 minutes (I like to go for 2:30), or until light brown. Beware of overcooking, as it will be tough if overcooked.
• 5. Dry on paper towels, serve with wedges of lemon.

Steps:

• Add enough olive oil to a medium sized frying pan to thinly cover the surface ( a few tablespoons ). Set to a medium heat. Wash calamari steaks under water and pat dry. Wisk egg in a bowl and dip the steaks in the egg wash. Cover the steaks with the Progresso Bread crumbs. Add one steak at a time to the pan and cook until golden brown ( about 3 minutes per side ). Set aside on plate when done. Repeat. If serving as an appetizer, cut the steaks into bite size pieces. Lemon, wine, butter sauce: ================== In the same pan, add the almonds and toast them for about 1 minute. Add butter. When the butter has melted and begins to bubble add the wine. Add the juice from 1/3 of a lemon. Add salt and pepper to taste. Let the sauce simmer for about a minute. It should reduce by about 1/2. Pour sauce over calamari.
