Marinated Squid Recipes

Steps:

• Mix together the soy sauce, ginger, and mirin in a large bowl to make the marinade. Reserve 1/2 cup of the marinade and set aside. Lay the squid in the remaining liquid, gently turning 4 times to coat all over. Marinate the squid for 10 minutes at room temperature, turning once.
• Preheat a grill to hot. Grill the squid for about 4 minutes (5 minutes if they're larger than 1 ounce apiece). Every 30 seconds flip the squid and brush on the reserved marinade. The squid will turn from translucent to white when they're ready, becoming tender and releasing a rich aroma. Be careful not to overcook; squid turns rubbery if grilled too long. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Bring 1 1/2 cups water and 3 tablespoons oil to simmer in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add squid and onion. Cover and simmer 15 minutes. Add 1/4 cup minced parsley and rosemary. Cover and simmer until squid is tender, about 10 minutes. Transfer mixture to large jar. Add vinegar, garlic, peppercorns and bay leaf. Cover and refrigerate overnight. (Can be prepared 3 days ahead. Keep refrigerated.)
• Preheat broiler. Brush baguette slices with 2 tablespoons oil. Broil until golden, watching closely to avoid burning. Drain squid mixture. Discard rosemary sprigs, garlic and bay leaf. Transfer squid mixture to medium bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Drizzle with additional olive oil, if desired, and sprinkle with parsley. Serve with toasted baguette slices.

Steps:

• Combine the lemon grass, chili flakes, lemon and lime juices, ginger and 1 teaspoon of the olive oil in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Pour half of this vinaigrette into a small bowl. Refrigerate. Blanch the squid in boiling salt water for 1 minute. Drain. Rinse under cold running water until chilled and add to the vinaigrette. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Drain the squid. Set aside. Pour the reserved vinaigrette into a large glass or ceramic bowl. Whisk in the remaining olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the squid, peppers, scallions and coriander. Toss to combine. Divide the lettuce between 4 plates. Top with the salad and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Method
• 1. To make the marinade, whisk all the ingredients together in a large bowl. Add the squid, cover, and let marinate in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 hours.
• 2. Prepare a hot fire in a grill. Oil a perforated grill rack or a cast-iron grill griddle and preheat on the grill.
• 3. Remove the squid from the marinade. Place the squid on the prepared grill rack and grill for 4 minutes, turning once, or until the squid are almost opaque all the way through and have crisped around the ends and tentacles. Do not overcook or they will become rubbery.
• 4. To serve, arrange on a platter, drizzle with olive oil, and scatter with parsley.

Steps:

• Slcie the squid into rings and place in a small mixing bowl.
• Cover the squid with milk (use more or less as required. Add garlic and season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for 24 hours (or at least overnight).
• Drain the calamari and discard the milk. Pat dry with kitchen paper.
• Toss calamari in flour. I use a large plastic bag to do this.
• Deep fry until golden. Serve hot.
• Do not overcook the calamari as it may toughen.
• NOTE: Cooking time does not include overnight marination time.

Steps:

• Clean squid:.
• Hold squid with one hand, with the other hand hold head and pull gently, head and inside of body will come away in one compact piece.
• Cut tentacles from head.
• Remove bone found at open end of squid (it looks like a long thin piece of plastic).
• Clean squid under cold running water
• Rub off brown outer skin.
• Cut squid into 5mm rings.
• Drop rings into rapidly boiling water, reduce heat, simmer 10-15 minutes or until squid is tender.
• Drain.
• Combine lemon juice and oil.
• Add squid, cover, refrigerate overnight.
• Next day, add crushed garlic and parsley to marinade, mix well, let stand 2 hours or longer in marinade.
• Serve in the marinade.

Steps:

• Rinse squid under cold running water, then lightly pat dry between paper towels. Halve tentacles lengthwise and cut bodies (including flaps, if attached) crosswise into 1/3-inch-wide rings.
• Cook squid in a 5- to 6-quart pot of boiling salted water , uncovered, until just opaque, 40 to 60 seconds. Drain in a colander and immediately transfer to a bowl of ice and cold water to stop cooking. When squid is cool, drain and pat dry.
• Whisk together lemon juice, vinegar, oil, garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl, then stir in onion and let stand 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine squid, olives, tomatoes, celery, and parsley in a large bowl. Toss with dressing and season with salt and pepper. Let stand at least 15 minutes to allow flavors to develop.
