Crisp-fried calamari with rosemary & chilli oil

Method

1. For the dressing, warm the olive oil in a small pan and add the rosemary and chilli. Set aside.

2. Pour the cream into a large bowl and add the egg yolks, parmesan cheese, flour, garlic, and oregano. Beat until it becomes a smooth batter. Season with freshly ground black pepper.

3. Heat enough oil for deep-frying to 200°C, or until a cube of bread browns in 30 seconds.

4. Dip the squid rings into the batter, one at a time, and place gently into the oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.

5. Drain on kitchen paper and serve immediately, drizzled with the dressing. Add salt if required.
