I'm amped up for this recipe. Energized. I surmise I can say this is an extravagant form of the calamari you had at any of those eateries however that'd be somewhat of a falsehood. This is only the rendition that doesn't have any prepackaged sustenances that they warmth up in the wood fire barbecue so you think everything is custom made.

Everything simply is, which consequently improves it. In the event that you've never acquired calamari at the supermarket to get ready at home, don't be threatened. Calamari is in reality Excessively economical. What's more, at most markets, they tidy it up for you so it's prepared to go.

Ingredients 
Serves 6

• 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 2 clove garlic, chopped
• 1 stalk celery, chopped
• 1 carrot, chopped
• 1 sea salt, to taste
• 1 black pepper, freshly ground, to taste
• 2 can (32 oz each) crushed tomatoes
• 2 dried bay leaves
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter, optional
• 1 vegetable oil, for deep-frying
• 1 lb calamari, cleaned and cut into 1/3 to 1/2 inch thick rings
• 2 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tbsp dried parsley
• 1 salt, to taste
• 1 black pepper, freshly ground, to taste
• 2 lemons, cut into wedges

Instructions

1. For the marinara sauce: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium high heat. Add onion and garlic and saute until soft and translucent, about 5 to 10 minutes. Add celery and carrots and season with salt and black pepper. Saute until all of the vegetables are soft, about 5 to 10 minutes. Add tomatoes and bay leaves and simmer uncovered on low heat for 1 hour or until the sauce has thickened. Remove bay leaves, taste, and adjust seasoning, if necessary. If the sauce still tastes acidic, add unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon at a time to round out the flavors.
2. Place 1/2 of the tomato sauce into the bowl of a food processor. Process until smooth. Continue with remaining tomato sauce.
3. If not using all of the sauce, allow it to cool completely and pour 1 to 2 cup portions into plastic freezer bags. This can be stored for up to 6 months.
4. For the calamari: Pour enough vegetable oil into a heavy large saucepan to reach the depth of 3 inches. Heat over medium heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
5. Mix flour, parsley, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl. Working in small batches, toss calamari into the flour mixture to coat. Carefully add calamari to the oil and fry until crisp and very pale golden, about 1 minute per batch. Using tongs or a slotted spoon, transfer the fried calamari to a paper towel lined plate to drain. Serve with marinara sauce and lemon wedges.
