Calamari 'A la romana' recipe

The other day we were talking about the Calamari Food Festival and our Seafood Tour in Barcelona during October and I have been thinking since then about having some for lunch! So I did. Today I want to share with you a receipe that can be part of a tapas lunch or dinner or you can also prepare it as a main course: Calamari 'A la romana' .

This is a very easy recipe to prepare but delicious at the same time.

Ingredients:

Calamari (I bought three medium sized)
4 cups flour
2 eggs
Olive oil
Salt
A lemon

Directions:

• Clean the calamari. In the fishmarket in Spain you buy fresh calamari but they can clean it for you if you ask for it. Clean it without opening it or cutting it! Rinse it with cold water.

• Once it is clean, cut the head in rings. Don't cut the legs. 
• Mix the calamari with the flour. 

• Prepare a sausepan and add olive oil. Be generous! Let the oil get hot. 
• Beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and soak them.

• Add the calamari rings in the hot oil and let them cook both sides. 
• Serve still hot and add lemon juice on top!

Bon profit!
