CALAMARI PARMIGIANO RECIPE - (4.7/5)



Calamari Parmigiano Recipe - (4.7/5) image

Provided by GratefulSea

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 Calamari steaks
3/4 cup Panko or Italian Seasoned bread crumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
1/8 teaspoon Cayenne
1 jumbo or 2 smaller eggs (better yet, use EggBeaters), beaten
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
3 Garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons Lemon Juice
salt and pepper, to taste
2 slices Provolone cheese
1 Tablespoon fresh minced Parsley (dried parsley is okay in a pinch)
lemon slices for garnish

Steps:

  • Whisk together bread crumbs, Parmesan, and cayenne in a shallow bowl, such as a pie plate. Beat one egg in a second small bowl. Dip calamari steaks first into the egg, allowing excess to drip off, and then into the bread crumb mixture. Set aside on waxed paper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, then sauté the minced garlic for about 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium. Add the calamari steaks to the skillet, sprinkle top with a bit of lemon juice, then salt and pepper to taste, and cook no more than 3 minutes; don't move the steaks while they cook; they should release easily when the bread crumb coating is golden brown. Turn the steaks over, sprinkle with more lemon juice, salt and pepper, then lay a slice of provolone on top of each steak, cover and cook for another 3 minutes. Sprinkle parsley on top, garnish with lemon slices, and serve immediately.

CALAMARI STEAKS PARMIGIANO



Calamari Steaks Parmigiano image

This recipe is almost like Chicken Parmigiano, but it uses calamari steaks, and is much quicker and easier to make. It is not baked, and the uniform texture of the steaks allows the breading to adhere nicely. Serve over your favorite pasta with extra sauce, if desired.

Time 20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 calamari tubes
¾ cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
¼ cup milk
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 ½ cups spaghetti sauce
4 slices provolone cheese

Steps:

  • Slice the calamari tubes open so they can lay flat. Rinse and pat dry; set aside. Mix the bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese together in a pie tin or on a plate. Pour the milk into a separate dish. Dip the calamari steaks in milk, then press into the bread crumb mixture to coat.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Quickly add the steaks and cook until golden brown on each side, about 3 minutes per side. They should be golden brown but be careful not to over cook or they will be tough.
  • Reduce heat to low and add garlic and then spaghetti sauce to the pan. Top each steak with a slice of provolone cheese. Cover with a lid just until the cheese has melted, about 2 minutes.
