Description
This simple calamari recipe is so quick and easy to make and will leave you with beautifully tender calamari. Enjoy with a squeeze of lemon. I also like it on toast with a sprinkling of parsley.
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons Olive Oil
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Crushed Chilli Flakes
- 1 bunch Parsley
- ¾ pounds, 2-⅛ ounces, weight Squid
- ½ whole Lemon, Zest And Juice
- ½ teaspoons Salt
- ½ teaspoons Black Pepper
Preparation
Put a wide pan on a high heat and add oil. You’ll want to wait until the pan is very hot and the oil is almost smoking,
Throw in garlic, chilli flakes and parsley and stir for around 30 seconds. You’re just aiming to release the flavours here.
Add squid, lemon juice and zest, salt and pepper and give everything a good stir to ensure the squid is well coated. The squid should be spread out in the pan to ensure it all cooks evenly. Remove from heat after 2 minutes. This should be the right amount of time to cook the squid thoroughly. You will know, as the squid will go a little firm and turn slightly opaque.
Plate up immediately and garnish with a little more parsley.
