try cooking calamares this way. use frozen calamares cleaned calamari rings and Soak it in buttermilk. lightly cover it in 1/2 part Masa Harina (I think this is fine corn meal) and 1/2 part flour. Shake off the excess and fry it. Season it after frying with whatever you want. Salt and pepper with a dash of cayanne pepper if you like. Then eat it immediately.

thanks, MM for the nice recipe…Calamares is one of my faves and there’s one place (Greek) that serves it along with Ceasar Salad… Ang saraaaaaaaaappp.. I always come by there to eat dinner before going home when I’m too lazy to cook or just craving for it…

I would love to make it at home…. yummy….

For a dip with a “Filipino” taste try mixing rice vinegar, touch of fish sauce or patis, chopped ginger, minced shallot, and chopped fresh chile, touch of sugar.
Good with broiled seafood or with pancit (noodle dishes).

Calamares are traditionally served with a mayonnaise based dressing. For an easy one, just use mayonnaise, a touch of mustard and some drops of lemon juice and stir. For Calamares with a “Filipino” taste I suppose you could try a soy sauce based sauce with calamansi although I would find that a bit strong…
