Ingredients list for Grilled Squid Tapas
Serves 6 :
- 1 3/4 lbs (800g) small squids
- 1 tbsp oil
- 1 tbsp of chopped parsley
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1 tbsp bread crumbs
- Salt and pepper
Marinade:
- 1 tbsp of olive oil
- 1 tbsp of apple cider vinegar
- A few sprigs of fresh thyme
- 1 pinch of Espelette pepper
Directions
1. Thoroughly clean the squid (or have your fishmonger do it for you).
2. Cut squid into strips, leaving the tentacles whole. Put all the pieces in a large bowl. Add a tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
3. Coat all the pieces and cook on a hot griddle or cast-iron grill. Squid will lose its first water and start to color. Meanwhile, gather the chopped garlic, parsley, and breadcrumbs in a bowl and mix.
4. Add the breadcrumbs onto the flavored squid, stir, and leave to brown for a few minutes.
5. Discard the squid in a large bowl and season with oil, vinegar, and Espelette pepper.
6. Sprinkle with fresh thyme and leave to cool. Refrigerate until it’s ready to serve.
You can serve these fried squid as an appetizer or associated with goat cheese and marinated peppers on a slice of bread.
