Salt and Pepper Squid

Treat yourself to a delightful homemade version of the beloved takeaway classic with our Quick and Easy Salt and Pepper Squid recipe!

Ingredients:

• 500g (cleaned weight) medium-size squid
• 2 tsp white peppercorns
• 4 tsp flaky sea salt
• 100g plain flour
• groundnut or vegetable oil, for frying

Method:

1. Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4 and slide a baking sheet in.
2. Pound the peppercorns and sea salt together, then in a large bowl, stir the salt and pepper into the flour and set to one side.
3. Heat a few cms oil in a wok or deep frying pan over a high heat; when the oil starts to shimmer, it is ready.
4. Toss the squid in the seasoned flour so that it is coated well.
5. Drop a quarter of the squid into the oil and fry for about 1 min. The squid should curl and go crisp. Lift out of the oil with a slotted spoon and keep warm in the oven on the baking sheet while you cook the rest.
