Spanish Garlic Parsley Grilled Squid

By bdeedman

Serves 6…You can serve these fried squid as an appetizer or associated with goat cheese and marinated peppers on a slice of bread.

Ingredients

• Marinade:
• 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
• 1 tbsp of olive oil
• 1 tbsp of apple cider vinegar
• A few sprigs fresh thyme
• 1 pinch of Espelette pepper

Preparation

Step 1

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 or 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.
