Yummy squid recipe

Okay, so I nicked this from Nigella… do I look like a domestic goddess?!

• Put powdery stuff in a plastic sandwich bag. I used semolina (really!), sesame seeds and garam masala… mostly because I mis-remembered Nigella’s stuff!
• Little squid. From the supermarket (got mine frozen in Waitrose).
• Push out the little tentacle-y bit (ie, the squid itself). Thomas enjoyed helping with this! (You can use these bits as well, but Jess didn’t fancy it)
• Slide the outside bit into strips (ie, to make rings). Drop them in the bag and shake (Thomas and I called it “tickling the bag”)
• Deep-fry the individual coated rings in very hot oil (we used sunflower) until they’re golden (no more than a couple of minutes.  Squid is only NOT tough if its cooked very quickly or very slowly - that’s the science bit!)
• Serve over a mixed salad (we like the beetroot ones) with a balsamic/lemon/olive oil dressing.

All done inside half an hour, utterly delicious and good for you, to boot!
