FRIED CALAMARI ( small squids)

1 lb calamari
Oil
1/2 cup brandy
Juice of 2 lemons
1/2 cup white wine
sage
fresh parsley
rosemary
lemon wedges

Clean calamari, removing dot marked skin,and entrails. Cut across in
1/2 wide rings. Remove heads and keep them whole, but remove hard
beaks from them.
Fry in abundant oil until light golden. It should take no longer than 2
or 3 minutes, or squids will toughen up.
As they become ready, remove from pan and place over some paper to
drain.
Prepare sauce with all ingredients, except brandy.
Return calamari to the pan, place over medium fire, add brandy and
light up.
Pour sauce over calamari and turn them over with a spatula. Keep on the
fire just long enough to reheat.
Serve hot, with lemon wedges.
