Spicy Garlic Squid (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
4 clean, fresh squid tubes.
02 -
3 to 4 tablespoons of good-quality olive oil.
03 -
A sprinkle of sea salt.
04 -
3 big garlic cloves, minced.
05 -
Half a long red chili, chopped up.
06 -
A handful of fresh parsley, roughly chopped.
07 -
Juice from a quarter of a lemon.
# Instructions:
01 -
Make light cuts on the surface of the squid tubes, remove the tentacles. Use paper towels to thoroughly dry them off.
02 -
Pour a bit of olive oil into a large skillet and heat it over high. Cook the squid for about 2 minutes per side, then take it out and toss on some salt.
03 -
Add more olive oil to the pan, lower the heat. Stir in garlic, chili, and most of the parsley, and let it cook until the garlic turns golden.
04 -
Put the squid back in the pan and mix it with everything for around 20 to 30 seconds. Squeeze some lemon juice over it and serve, drizzling the garlic-parsley oil on top.
# Notes:
01 -
You can cook this on a barbecue grill for 2 minutes per side if you prefer.
02 -
To avoid a rubbery texture, make sure the pan is really hot.
