Calamari Recipes

From delicious

The abundance of mushrooms in this recipe cuts down on the calories and reduces the "fishiness" of the final dish. The crabmeat and calamari are high in protein and calcium and the Calamari is surprisingly a good source of vitamin C (in case you are ever lost at sea and dying of scurvy).
See explanation of "Test Tube Mushrooms" in tips.

Delicious as a starter or summer meal served with fresh Italian bread and chilled white wine.

Frozen seafood mixes are available in many grocery stores and you may wish to save the time spent on cleaning squid by buying the prepared mix or frozen calimary rings.

This was an adaptation of a couple of different squid recipes using Gochujang.

One of the original recipes called for miniature corn, since I didn't have that, I used sugar snap peas and mushrooms as the vegetable portion of the dish. Other vegetables, chopped to size for stir-fry, might just as easily be used. I think it's nice to have at least one of them be something that retains a bit of crunch.

The proportions are based on the amount of squid I had. The recipe can be doubled, though I might increase but not quite double the Gochujang unless you want it really hot.

The prep time is also approximate and includes chopping the vegetables, prepping the squid, slicing it into rings, marinating and then preparing the sauce.

This is an update. The original measurement for the oil was too high and I currently use only curry powder, thought the spices can vary

Lightly toss calamari in milk then the flour and deep fry.

Better than any resturant :)

Adapted from Prevention August 2010. Most of the butter wine sauce is left behind, so the calorie count is actually lower.

Easy, tasty and healthy squid recipe

Greek way of cooking Calamari, done in a tomato and white wine sauce, it is called "Kokinisto" and is light and nice to eat either on its own or over rice (white or brown) or mash

A great substitute for chicken francese

If you like conch chowder, try this version using calamari. It is thick and hearty with robust seafood flavour and just enough spiciness to tickle the tongue. This recipe calls for both the squid tubes and tentacles, but if you don't care for the tentacles, simply use an equal amount of the body instead. This method adds the squid rings last so they remain tender with little cooking.
