We are in love with simple Mediterranean food, so calamari are usually at least once a month on our menu. As with work I have a pleasure to travel quite often to Greece it is easy to get inspired with their local cuisine. These calamari in a cream lemon mustard sauce are not explainable.
Calamari are quickly sautéed with garlic and wine finished with a zesty creamy sauce. A sprinkle of fresh parsley seals the deal. Comes together in less than 20 minutes!
This is BeastFeast version of lemon mustard calamari. As I told you, I ate these amazing calamari once on a business trip in Greece. These go perfectly with fresh Greek salad and rosemary potato as a main dish or if you do prefer as an appetizer, serve it with tzatziki and pita bread. In any case it is so creamy and delicious.
