We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • TO MAKE THE GARLIC MAYONNAISE

  • Step 1: Place the egg yolk, juice, mustard and garlic in a food processor, and process until combined and then with the motor running, add oil in a slow, steady stream until mixture is thick and then add the water and pulse to combine.

  • FOR THE CALAMARI

  • Step 2: Pat dry with paper towel and cut into 1cm thick rings.

  • Step 3: Place flour in a large bowl and whisk eggs and the water in another bowl and place the breadcrumbs on a large flat plate.

  • Step 4: Toss calamari rings in flour, then dip into egg, draining off excess before adding to breadcrumbs, pressing claamari into crumbs to coat evenly and then place on an oven tray.

  • Step 5: Pour enough oil into a large heavy based saucepan to reach a depth of 5cm (oil is ready when a cube of bread crisps quickly without absorbing any oil).

  • Step 6: Deep fry calamari, in batches, for 2 minutes or until golden brown and cooked.

  • Step 7: Using a slotted spoon transfer the calamari to paper towel to drain.

  • Step 8: Serve calamari with Garlic Mayonnaise and lemon wedges.

  • NOTE - Use 2 cups of all-purpose gluten free rice crumbs instead of processing bread to make crumbs
