Fritti

16 pieces of small squids, smaller size ones preferred

8 froggies, only take the legs & thighs

2 egg whites

1 cup of frying powder

vegetable oil for deep-frying

sea salt and freshly grounded pepper to season

• Wash squid and frog legs separately with salt and cornstarch. Drain and pat dry.
• Beat egg whites in a bowl and season. In batches, place squids or frog legs separately in egg whites then coat in frying powder.
• Deep fry squids and frog legs separately in small batches with very hot vegetable oil in a big casserole without crowding. Then reduce the fire to medium till the squids and frog legs start sizzling in the oil and turn golden browned. Transfer the squids and frog legs on a wire rack. Season the Fritti well with sea salt and pepper. Discard the frying residuals in the oil. Turn the fire back on high heat and continue frying other batches.
