Golden salt and pepper squid is delicious
Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 5 minutes
Serves: 2
Ingredients
500 g squid tubes
1/3 cup rice flour
2 tbsp peppercorns
1 1/4 tbsp sea salt
Vegetable oil
Lemon, sliced, to serve
Method
Grind the peppercorns and sea salt in a mortar and pestle or place in a plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin.
Combine the salt, pepper and rice flour in a bowl. Set aside.
Cut the squid tubes down one side and lay flat with the inside facing up. Use a knife to pierce the thin inner membrane and remove as much as possible.
Use a knife to score the squid in a crisscross pattern. Cut into 3 cm stripes.

Score and then cut the squid
Heat 4 cm deep oil in a frypan on high until very hot. It will be ready when a piece of gluten free bread turns golden brown within 10 seconds.
Toss the squid into the rice flour mixture.

Coat in the rice flour mixture
Shake off any excess rice flour and cook in the oil in batches for 2 - 3 minutes or when golden brown.

The high heat makes the outside crispy and keeps the flesh tender
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the squid to a wire rack to allow any excess fat to drain off. Paper towel may turn the coating soggy.
Serve immediately with sliced lemon. Enjoy.
