Where to find ingredients
You can find fresh squid at local fish markets or the seafood counters of larger supermarkets in Fiji. If fresh squid is unavailable, frozen cleaned squid rings are a common and convenient alternative. Ensure your breadcrumbs are finely ground for the best crunch.
Preparation method
- Season the cleaned squid rings with salt, black pepper, and oregano.
- Place the beaten eggs in a bowl and coat the squid rings evenly.
- In a separate shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour and breadcrumbs.
- Dredge the egg-coated squid rings into the flour and breadcrumb mixture, ensuring they are thoroughly covered.
- Heat a generous amount of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or frying pan.
- Fry the breaded squid rings in the hot oil until they turn golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the fried squid rings and drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Serve the lula à milanesa immediately, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh chopped green onions.
