This delicious recipe comes from the brand new issues of The 4 Blades Magazine – The Healthy Eating Issue.
Make your own yummy salt and pepper calamari without all the batter! This seasoning mix is really delicious, and it allows you to create a quick summery meal. Serve with a delicious fresh salad for a light but nutritious meal.
To make this meal even easier, ask your fishmonger to clean and slice the calamari for you. If you are doing it yourself, please be aware that there can be a thin film on the calamari that you will want to remove before eating.
