For the Aioli:
1/2 cup vegan mayo,
2 tsp lemon juice,
zest of 1/2 lemon,
1 tsp Dijon mustard
For The Calamari:
14 oz jar of Hearts of Palm in Brine ( 8 oz when drained.
Look for “sustainably harvested” on label )
1 cup non dairy milk ( I used oat/ full fat),
2 tsp lemon,
2 tsp sriracha,
3/4 cup corn starch,
1/4 cup cornmeal,
2 tsp Old Bay Seasoning,
1/2 tsp salt,
1/4 tsp pepper,
oil with high smoke point ( I used avocado oil)
What you do:
1️⃣ In a small bowl whisk together aioli ingredients, season to taste. Place in fridge
2️⃣ In a large bowl whisk together milk, lemon, & sriracha let sit 3-5 min to thicken
3️⃣Cut hearts into 1/4 in circular slices, gently pop out center of slices to form rings. Dry throughly. Then place “ calamari” in milk to marinate while you set up breading stations & heat up oil.
4️⃣ Combine cornstarch, cornmeal, old bay seasoning, s& p, then divide between two bowls.
5️⃣To bread calamari, take rings out of liquid & toss into first breading bowl, making sure all areas are coated. Dip with a slotted spoon back to the milk mix. Then bread a second time into second bowl. Place on a tray & gently separate if any are clumped together
6️⃣ Heat 1/2 in oil on med/high in Dutch oven/ cast iron pan for 5 min (heat till 400 F )
