Squid
300g Squid
Plain Flour
200g Plain Flour
Capers
2 tblsp Capers
Garlic
1 clove peeled crushed Garlic
Mayonnaise
5 tblsp Mayonnaise
Vegetable Oil
For frying Vegetable Oil
Lemon
To serve Lemon


Instructions

step 1 Cut the squid into rings about ½cm thick.
Tip the flour into a freezer bag and season well.
Add the capers, then give everything a good shake to mix together.
Tip the squid into the bag, then shake again until all the rings are well coated.
Mix together the garlic and mayonnaise, then place in a serving bowl.
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.
Place over a medium heat and let the oil warm up.
To test that the oil is ready, place a small piece of bread in the pan – it should sizzle when it touches the oil.
step 3 Remove a handful of squid from the flour and shake off any excess.
Gently drop into the oil, then cook for about 3 mins until crisp.
Remove with a slotted spoon and place on kitchen paper.
Repeat with the remaining squid.
Serve straight away with the mayonnaise and lemon wedges.
