Fried Calamari with Spicy Anchovy Mayonnaise Ingredients

3/4 c Jarred mayonnaise	1 lb Fresh; clean squid
4 Anchovy fillets -; (to 5)	4 c Light olive oil or vegetable
2 tb Lemon juice	1 c All-purpose flour
1 tb Finely-chopped parsley	1 c Graham cracker crumbs
1/2 ts Cayenne	1 ts Kosher salt

Instructions for Fried Calamari with Spicy Anchovy Mayonnaise

In a food processor, combine the mayonnaise, anchovies, lemon juice, parsley and cayenne. Blend until smooth. Transfer the sauce to a bowl and refrigerate, covered tightly, for up to 2 days, until ready to serve. Cut the squid into 1/3-inch rings. If the tentacles are large, halve or quarter them lengthwise. Refrigerate until ready to use. In a heavy-bottomed straight-sided 3-quart saucepan, about 8 inches in diameter, heat the oil to 360 degrees. In a shallow bowl, combine the flour and graham cracker crumbs. Toss 1/3 of the squid in the flour mixture to coat evenly. Shake the squid in a mesh strainer to shed extra coating. Using tongs or a slotted spoon, gently lower each batch of calamari into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt. The cooked squid can be kept warm in a low oven while you continue. Check your oil temperature and repeat with remaining calamari. Serve hot with chilled anchovy mayonnaise.
