- 1 1/2 pounds (700 grams) cleaned squid hoods
- 1 cup (70g) stale spelt breadcrumbs or panko bread crumbs
- 2/3 cup (100 grams) brown rice flour
- 2 teaspoons ground white pepper
- 1 1/2 - 2 tablespoons Za'atar seasoning

- 4 eggs
- 1/3 cup (80ml) olive oil or other oil of choice with lower smoke-point

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.
