Instant Pot Calamari Stew

Never has a quick meal tasted so spectacular. Yes, you do need to hunt down this fabulous flavoured paste – think chilli with a sweet and smoky hit of almost liquorice intensity – but once you have it, the culinary kingdom is yours. In lieu of it, I suppose you could use any chilli paste you like, to taste, but I could never allow myself to run out of my exuberantly coloured gochujang – also stamped “ Hot Pepper Paste  “ – and so can’t report from experience.

In fact, I am always ready to slide down the pole and have this at a moment’s notice: the spring onions are in the fridge; the squid is in the deep-freeze; everything else is to hand; and if I don’t have any baby corn, I am more than happy to add whatever vegetable I do have.

Place the calamari into a bowl with the buttermilk, ensuring all pieces are submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably up to 2 hours to tenderize the calamari.

While the calamari marinates, prepare the lemon aioli by whisking together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, lemon zest and minced garlic in a small bowl. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Fill a large heavy-bottomed pot with 3-4 inches of vegetable oil and heat to 375 degrees F.

In a separate medium-sized bowl, mix together the flour, sea salt, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried oregano.

Remove each piece of calamari from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge in the seasoned flour, ensuring an even coating.

Carefully lower 8-10 pieces of calamari into the hot oil and fry for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown, adjusting the heat if necessary to maintain the oil temperature.

Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried calamari from the oil and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Repeat the frying process for the remaining calamari.

Sprinkle the freshly fried calamari with chopped parsley and serve immediately with the chilled lemon aioli on the side for dipping.
