Calamari -

This is a delicious, very easy, quick but moderately expensive recipe. Everyone I've ever fixed it for, absolutely loves it!

Ingredients:

 3 cups vegetable oil
 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
 1 teaspoon salt
 1 teaspoon dried oregano
 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
 12 squid, cleaned and sliced into rings
 1 lemon - cut into wedges, for garnish

Directions:

Preheat oil in a heavy, deep frying pan or pot. Oil should be heated to 365 degrees F (180 degrees C).
In a medium size mixing bowl mix together flour, salt, oregano and black pepper. Dredge squid through flour and spice mixture.
Place squid in oil for 2 to 3 minutes or until light brown. Beware of overcooking, squid will be tough if overcooked. Dry squid on paper towels. Serve with wedges of lemon.
