Ingredients
2 Calamari Steaks
Progresso Garlic & Herb Bread Crumbs
4 eggs
1/3 cup white wine ( Pinot Grigio )
1 ounce of sliced almonds ( 1oz == 1/4 cup )
1 tablespoon butter
1 lemon
olive oil
salt & pepper
Preparation
Add enough olive oil to a medium sized frying pan to thinly cover the surface ( a few tablespoons ). Set to a medium heat.
Wash calamari steaks under water and pat dry.
Wisk egg in a bowl and dip the steaks in the egg wash.
Cover the steaks with the Progresso Bread crumbs.
Add one steak at a time to the pan and cook until golden brown ( about 3 minutes per side ). Set aside on plate when done. Repeat.
If serving as an appetizer, cut the steaks into bite size pieces.
Lemon, wine, butter sauce:
In the same pan, add the almonds and toast them for about 1 minute.
Add butter. When the butter has melted and begins to bubble add the wine. Add the juice from 1/3 of a lemon. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Let the sauce simmer for about a minute. It should reduce by about 1/2.
Pour sauce over calamari.
