High Fiber Calamari

I love the deep fried calamari appetizer found at the local restaurants, but it is definitely not so great for the diet! So I decided to make my own ;)

1 lb fresh squid tubes
1/2 c egg whites
1/2 c fiber one (ground to a fine consistency in a blender or food processor)
1/2 c wheat bran
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp pepper
fresh ground sea salt
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (optional - if you like spicy)
1 lemon, cut into wedges
fresh parsle for garnish

1. clean squid under cold water and slice tubes. (They will look like round circles)
2. Mix dry ingredients in a large shallow bowl.
3. pre heat a heavy pan to med-high heat. add olive oil. 
4. When pan is hot, dip squid tubes in egg whites, then immediately dip in dry mixture. Then place in hot pan. Fry approximately 5 minutes and flip. Fry for another 2-5 minutes, or cooked through and crispy. 
5. Top with squeezed lemon wedges and fresh parsley for garnish.

***Serves well with my High Protein Tzatziki dip!
