• 2 cloves garlic

• We carefully turn them over and dry them very well with kitchen paper so that they do not release water while we fry them on the griddle. Otherwise, they would be cooked instead of fried.
• Before frying the baby squids, you need to have prepared the parsley and garlic dressing: chop the garlic and parsley finely and mix them in a mortar together with olive oil and, optionally, a stream of wine.
