A delicious dish that brings me many memories of Sunday mornings in Barcelona, eating what we call "vermut". Usually we have lunch there around 2:00 pm and on Sundays, at noon, people go to bars to have some "tapas" and a beer, to fuel the appetite. One of our favorite tapas is calamares a la romana or calamari rings.
Ingredients:
* 1 pound of squid rings, cleaned
* 1 cup of whole milk
* 1 egg
* 1 cup of all purpose white flour
* 1 tablespoon cold carbonated water
* 1 lemon
* 1 teaspoon of baking powder
* Pinch of salt
* Olive oil
One hour before cooking the squids, soak the rings in the milk and let them in the fridge. Mix the flour, carbonated water and salt, add the beaten egg and finally mix the baking powder. Dry the squids with a paper towel and dip them in the batter. In a big pan heat the oil and when it is very hot, fry the squids over medium-high heat, just a few minutes to get a nice gold color and for the batter to rise. Place them on a paper towel to drain the excess of oil. Serve them with lemon wedges and a cold beer or soda to go along with them :)
Preparation: 30 minutes (plus 1 hour of soaking in milk)
