This grilled squid with vegetables recipe brings familiar ingredients together in a straightforward home-kitchen method. Read the ingredient list before starting, prepare the equipment in advance and follow the temperature and chilling guidance where relevant.

Ingredients

  • 500 Grams cleaned squid
  • 4 cloves garlic, chopped
  • Olive oil
  • 1 red onion
  • 1 cucumber
  • Lettuce
  • Juice from 1 Lemon
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Lemon wedges

Instructions

  1. Dry cleaned squid well and cut large bodies into rings or score and divide them into pieces. Toss with half the garlic, a little olive oil, salt and pepper.
  2. Slice onion and cucumber and arrange with lettuce. Dress with lemon juice, olive oil and a little salt.
  3. Heat a grill pan until very hot. Cook squid quickly in batches, about 1–2 minutes per side depending on size, until opaque and just cooked; avoid prolonged cooking which makes it rubbery.
  4. Serve squid over the vegetables with remaining lemon wedges; discard anything used to hold raw seafood.
