Chicharrón del Calamares

References:

Serves- 6
Preparation- 1 hour

Ingredients:

• 2lbs of squid
• ½ liter of oil (we recommend that you use corn oil)
• 2 eggs
• 100 grams of cornstarch
• Salt and Pepper (use this to taste)
• Mayonnaise (again, use this to taste)

Preparation:

• Wash all of the squid. Once the squid is washed prepare it by cutting it carefully into pieces that are suitable for eating.
• Crack both eggs into a bowl and beat the eggs well (prepare as if you were going to scramble the eggs)
• Add the 100 grams of cornstarch to the beaten eggs, add salt and pepper and stir all the contents until they are evenly mixed.
• With a brush, cover all of the squid with the beaten egg mix you made above.
• Once all of the squid is covered with the egg mx covered add oil to a pan.
• Once the oil is hot fry the squid until it is all golden brown.

*Use mayonnaise or tartar sauce and creole as a dipping sauce for the fried squid.
