SPICY GRILLED SQUID AND GREEN BEAN SALAD
Everyone loves calamari, but grilling is an easy, delicious alternative to frying. Grill the squid whole, then slice it into rings to serve warm or at room temperature, dressed with an assertive vinaigrette - in this case, with ginger, hot pepper, sesame oil and scallions. Cooking over hot coals adds a smoky note, but a stovetop grill works well, too. Any size squid may be prepared this way, but meaty larger squid works best. And, if grilling isn't a possibility, whole squid can also be broiled or roasted.

Steps:
- Rinse squid with cold water, drain and pat dry. Transfer to a baking sheet in one layer. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon peanut oil. Season squid on both sides with salt and pepper, and season tentacles. (If they are small, thread them onto bamboo skewers.) Make sure everything is lightly coated with oil. Set aside.
- Prepare a charcoal grill, or heat a stovetop grill to medium-high. Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil.
- Make the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons peanut oil, toasted sesame oil, lime juice and fish sauce. Stir in ginger, garlic and half the jalapeño and Fresno chiles (or less, if chiles are very hot).
- Drop beans into boiling water and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until firm tender. Drain and spread out on a baking sheet lined with a kitchen towel. Let cool to room temperature.
- Lay the squid bodies on the grill and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until lightly browned (bodies will puff up). Grill tentacles until firm and slightly charred, turning with tongs, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer cooked squid to a cutting board. Let cool slightly, then cut bodies crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Cut tentacles in halves or quarters, if large; otherwise leave whole.
- Place green beans and sliced squid in a large bowl. Sprinkle lightly with salt, then add the vinaigrette and toss to coat with wooden spoons. Add remaining half of the chiles, the scallions and cilantro and toss again. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary. Transfer to a serving platter. Sprinkle with remaining chiles if desired and garnish with cilantro springs.

GRILLED SQUID SALAD
Inspired by the investment in flavour that Nonna Franchina made in stuffing her squid, I came up with this recipe, which uses the same principle but in reverse. We're making a mind-blowing salsa to plunge the hot grilled squid straight into, creating a wonderful harmony between flavour and texture. The salsa is also great when used to dress grilled veg, lamb or other seafood, tossed with pasta or as a topping for crostini.

Steps:
- Soak the capers in a bowl of water. Squeeze all the lemon juice into a large shallow bowl and add 4 tablespoons of oil. Peel the garlic and finely chop with the chilli, anchovies, pistachios, drained capers and mint leaves. Scrape it all into the bowl and mix together well.
- Reserving the tentacles, run a sharp knife down the length of each squid tube, cutting through one side only so you can open each one out like a book. Lightly score the inside of each tube in a criss-cross fashion at 1/2-centimeter (1/4-inch) intervals. To cook the squid, follow Franchina's guidance and get the tentacles on early, then add the tubes, from largest to smallest. In a screaming hot griddle pan or on a barbecue, cook each piece for about 1 minute per side--with no oil or seasoning--until lightly charred and starting to curl. Start with the cut side when you do the tubes, and keep the squid moving for even cooking. As each piece is done, use tongs to dunk it straight into the salsa, turning and coating it in all that flavour.
- Slice the tomatoes and lay over a serving platter. Finely slice the squid tubes, pull the tentacles apart, then arrange on top of the tomatoes. Spoon over all the remaining salsa and serve hot or at room temperature.

Steps:
- The night before: soak the beans in cold water to cover by an inch, overnight. Combine the fennel seed, 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, 2 garlic cloves, parsley, lemon zest and mustard in a food processor. Purée, scraping the sides as needed, to form a smooth paste. With motor running, slowly drizzle in 1/2 cup olive oil to form an emulsion. Slather the marinade on the squid and season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
- Strain the beans, place in a saucepan, and cover with cold water. Add the bay leaves, 1/2 onion and the 2 remaining garlic cloves. Bring to a boil over medium heat, reduce heat to low, and simmer until tender, about 1 hour. Strain the beans, reserving some of the liquid, and discard the bay leaves, onion and garlic.
- Place a sauté pan over medium heat, and add remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Dice the remaining onion and add with the fennel and carrots. Add a pinch salt and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 3 minutes. Add the beans, cumin and remaining 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes. Mix, moistening with a bit of the bean liquid. Season with salt and pepper to taste and take it off the heat.
- Preheat a grill for cooking over high heat. Grill the squid on the hottest part of the grill for a minute per side, letting it brown slightly in places. Remove squid from heat, squeeze the lemon juice over it, and slice the tubes into thin rings. Stir into the bean salad and sprinkle with Espelette pepper.
- Serve warm with crusty bread, drizzling the unused marinade on top.
