Mushroom Calamari & Thousand Island Dressing (V, DF, GF, NF)

Ingredients:

  • 1 tin Vegan Calamari
  • 1 cup white flour
  • 2 tbsp cornflour
  • 1.5 cups icy water
  • Salt & pepper
  • Vegan garlic aioli
  • Tomato relish
  • Fresh chopped parsley



Method:
  1. Make tempura-style batter. In a bowl mix flour, cornflour, salt & pepper and icy water.  Use a stick blender to mix to a smooth batter.  If mixture is too thick, add more water.
  2. Open tin of Calamari and drain in a sieve.  
  3. Carefully place Calamari rings in batter and coat evenly.
  4. In a frypan, heat vegetable oil until it spatters with the addition of a drop of batter.  
  5. Carefully place battered Calamari piece by piece into hot oil, and cook until golden.  Carefully flip Calamari so both sides are crispy and golden.  Be careful of oil spatters.
  6. Make Thousand Island dressing by combining Vegan Garlic Aioli and relish. 
  7. Drain oil from Calamari, then serve hot with Thousand Island dressing.
  8. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
