Preparation

Rinse the ready-to-cook calamari and pat dry. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees on the fan setting
Cut the calamari tubes into rings and place in a large bowl with the heads. Add the calamansi balsam, lime oil, chopped olives, cherry tomatoes, breadcrumbs, grated parmesan, lemon zest and chopped parsley to the calamari in the bowl. Press the garlic and add. Mix everything together well and season with freshly ground pepper and a pinch of salt
Place the marinated calamari on a baking tray lined with baking paper and spread evenly. Drizzle with a little more olive oil. Bake for about 20 minutes in a preheated oven at 200 degrees until the surface is nice and crispy and golden brown
Enjoy the gratinated calamari straight from the oven - they taste best when they are still hot and crispy!

Tipp: If you don't have any Calamansi Balsam available, you can also just use lemon juice. This provides a similar fresh acidity. Instead of lime oil, simply use a good olive oil. And if you fancy a change, why not try sepia or moscardinofrom the HONEST CATCH shop - the recipe works just as well with these!
