I prefer to use just a flour coating and not cornmeal (it adds to the calories) and prefer to use vegetable oil (much lighter and oil stays hotter) rather than olive oil.

So gorgeous with just a squeeze of lemon juice and a sprinkling of salt. I think that the paranza would be 'boquerones', which there were pickled raw in vinegar and then fished out ('scuze the pun) and liberally doused in olive oil. Ok.

Will try it next time. I recently revisited my squid-cleaning skills, and patted myself on the shoulder.<br />And "paranza" - I think are called "girice" in Serbian or Croatian, eaten pipingly hot, on the shore of the Adriatic, served in newspaper cones. At least, that's the way I prefer them:) <br />LanaLanahttp://bibberche.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575499172466966020.post-73461126702790490952010-06-18T14:50:17.582+02:002010-06-18T14:50:17.582+02:00I love Calamari deep-fried with a selection of pep...I love Calamari deep-fried with a selection of peppers (sweet red bell, vinegary banana, perhaps a bit of jalapeno) and then accompanied by a nice marinara on the side.

It was also a way to keep the kids at home during those very interesting teenage years, they love to eat as much as we do! Although the calamari was just delicious, it took so much time for FHFB to make enough for the four of us that he swore he'd never ever make it again! Oh well...Ciao, bella!Frog Hollow Farm Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08591392952815933923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575499172466966020.post-75453594789011270692010-06-16T22:05:33.317+02:002010-06-16T22:05:33.317+02:00YummY!

As you said, this is a very important step. I never made this by adding polenta to the flour.
