How to Make

  • 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.
