Where to find ingredients
Look for the squid, flour, eggs and vegetable oil at your local supermarket’s seafood, baking and cooking-oil sections; dried oregano, salt, black pepper and spring onions are usually in the spices and produce aisles. If needed, plain breadcrumbs can be used as a substitute for the breadcrumbs, but keep the original ingredient if available.
Preparation method
- Season the cleaned squid rings with salt, black pepper and oregano.
- In a bowl, dip the squid rings in the beaten eggs.
- In another bowl, mix the cake flour with the breadcrumbs.
- Coat the egg-dipped squid rings in the flour mixture, making sure they are well covered.
- Heat a generous amount of vegetable oil in a frying pan.
- Fry the coated squid rings in the hot oil until golden and crisp.
- Remove the fried squid rings and place them on paper towel to drain off the excess oil.
- Serve the lula à milanesa rings sprinkled with chopped spring onion.
