It is necessary
-
- - 500 g squid;
- - 250 g of cheese;
- - 250 g olives;
- - 150 g olives;
- - 2 tbsp. beer;
- - 2 tbsp. milk;
- - 2 cups of flour;
- - 3 tbsp. corn flour;
- - 4 eggs;
- - 1/2 lemon;
- - a small bunch of parsley;
- - 1 tsp ground red pepper;
- - 1 tsp salt;
- - vegetable oil for frying.
Instructions
Step 1
Peel the squid carcasses. Put them in a bowl and cover with boiling water. Most of the skin will curl quickly. Drain the water immediately. Rinse the squid under cool running water, using your hands to remove any film residues. Carefully remove the entrails, being careful to maintain the integrity of the carcass, and then wash thoroughly. Blot the squid carcasses with a paper towel and cut into thin rings 1 to 2 cm wide.
Step 2
Prepare beer batter. To do this, chill the beer until ice cold. Combine 2 eggs, 1 cup flour, beer, salt and red pepper. Stir the mixture until smooth. The batter should have a consistency like liquid sour cream.
Step 3
Heat vegetable oil in a saucepan. Dip the squid rings with a fork into the beer batter and place in the skillet. There should be enough oil to completely cover the squid. Deep-fry the rings for about 2 minutes until crisp and golden brown. Spread the finished snack on a paper towel to remove any remaining oil. Cover with foil. This will keep the appetizer hot.
Step 4
Cut the cheese into cubes about 2 cm on a side. For this dish, it is better to use soft cheese, such as suluguni. Dip it in the remaining flour. Transfer the cheese cubes to a colander and shake slightly to remove excess flour.
Step 5
Whisk 2 eggs with cold milk. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet with high sides. Dip the cheese cubes first in the milk and egg mixture and then in the cornmeal. Fry on all sides for about 1-2 minutes until brown. Place the grilled cheese on a wire rack to drain off excess fat.
Step 6
Squeeze out the juice from half a lemon. Place the fried cheese cubes, squid rings, olives and olives on a platter. Drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
