Fried Calamari with a Chipotle Aioli and Orange-Chili dipping sauce by Healthy_Operation327 Dinner Tonight Tonight's Dinner
Healthy_Operation327 on March 12, 2026 8:39 pm This is one of my favorite dishes at a local Latin American fusion restaurant, so I attempted to recreate it at home! Chipotle aioli: mayo, adobo sauce from a can of chiles, orange juice, orange zest, and salt Orange-Chili sauce: sweet-chili sauce, orange marmalade, orange juice, lime juice (simmered briefly on the stove) Calamari was soaked in buttermilk and then dredged in a mixture of flour, cornstarch, paprika, and salt. Fried in oil at 350F until golden.
