Teaspoon Minced garlic  
/2 Cup Chopped toasted peanuts  
Tablespoon Black sesame seeds  
Tablespoon Julienned Holly or Asian Basil  
Chopped parsley; for garnish  
Preheat the fryer. In a shallow bowl, marinate the calamari in the  
buttermilk. Season with salt and pepper. Marinate for 1 hour under  
refrigeration. In another shallow bowl, combine the kosher salt, black  
pepper and flour together. Drain the calamari. Dredge the calamari in the  
seasoned flour, coating completely and shake off the excess. In a food  
processor, puree the jalapenos with the sugar. Add the hoisin sauce, water,  
and lime juice. Add the minced garlic. Puree until fully incorporated. Pour  
into a glass container. Allow the sauce to sit for 1 hour to allow the sugar  
to dissolve. Stirring occasionally. Stir in the peanuts, sesame seeds and  
basil. When the oil is hot, fry the calamari in batches, until golden−brown,  
about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the oil and drain on a paper−lined plate.  
Mound the calamari on a platter. Drizzle the sauce over the calamari and  
serve. Garnish with parsley. This recipe yields about 6 servings.
