"These are a slightly elevated version of the fish and chip staple, with za'atar for spice, and combined brown rice flour and spelt breadcrumbs (or panko) for a satisfying crunch. Serve with tartar sauce or the garlic yogurt sauce."

Step by Step Method

Step 1

Cut squid in half lengthwise. Score insides of squid in a criss-cross pattern; cut into 5cm pieces.

Step 2

Combine breadcrumbs, flour, white pepper, za'atar and parsley (or cilantro) in a medium bowl. Whisk eggs in another medium bowl. Dip squid pieces in egg, then coat in breadcrumb mixture, shaking off any excess.

Step 3

Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat; cook squid, in batches, for 2 minutes or until golden and just cooked through. Drain on paper towel. Season with salt.

Step 4

Serve squid immediately with lemon wedges. For a satisfying dip, serve with tartar sauce or a garlic yogurt sauce.

We really loved the flavors in this, though I did make an "oopsie" and had the flame up too high. I also should have crushed the panko a bit, as it had a hard time sticking to the squid. Regardless, we really loved this with a squeeze of lemon, and will make it again! Thanks for sharing!

Great recipe. I love the addition of Za'atar seasoning. It inspired me to use it in many other dishes.
