Calamari

Ingredients

• 3 cups vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 12 squid, cleaned and sliced into rings
• 1 lemon – cut into wedges, for garnish

Directions

1. Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Mix together flour, salt, oregano, and pepper in a medium bowl. Dredge squid in flour mixture.
3. Fry squid in hot oil until light brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Do not overcook, or squid will be tough. Drain squid on a paper towel-lined plate. Serve with lemon wedges.
