J Baldwin’s Calamari With Beurre Blanc Sauce:, I am a calamari lover !!! I begged Jeff for years to make this in his culinary classes but it took him 2 years to finally give it up This is the best calamari you will ever eat and I am SO glad I can finally make it at home and impress friends and family Thanks Jeff !!! When I cannot find calamari steaks, I buy a 10 oz box of Trader Joe’s lightly breaded calamari rings and it is still awesome Enjoy !!!, Nicely balanced dish, light and heavy all at the same time Tasty in a subtle way As suggested, might work out well just sauteed, without breading the calamari, just to make it a bit lighter , This recipe was really great! I have never cooked calamari or made a beurre blanc sauce before but wanted to recreate a recipe from a local restaurant I thought it would take several tries to get it right but this recipe was beyond expectations My husband and I loved it! Next time I will try sauteing the calamari instead of deep frying as I don’t really like to fry food I will also try spicing up the calamari some (maybe some blackened seasoning) The sauce is perfect the way it is but, with this much butter, it is quite decadent The tomatoes, green onions and capers are a great addition to the sauce and so good with the calamari PS – used frozen calamari rings (just rings – not breaded) from WalMart (seafood section – 1 lb bag) and breaded them with Drakes Crispy FryMix (the only Drakes product in my grocery) which used like flour
