One of the seafoods that I rarely eat is squid. When I was young, my mother rarely cooks squid recipes since it has a lot of flavor. Besides, my mother doesn't know any squid meals at all. Perhaps, this is the reason why I don't eat much squid. The only squid dish I eat is Calamari. But when I met my chef friend, he lets me experience different food dishes. One time, he prepared a Squid Salad and
Chocolate Cookie Pizza when I visited him in his house. It's very delicious and presentable. Through my friend, I came to appreciate squid.
Ingredients:
2 pounds whole squid
2 cups boiling water
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup sliced red onion
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Squid is one of the seafoods that's very difficult to handle, especially if you're inexperienced like me. But Squid Salad is easy to do. First, you have to clean the squid very well. Then, chop its tentacles and mantle to one-inch. After that, boil water with salt. Put the squid in the boiled salted water. Let it simmer for five to ten minutes. If you notice that the squid is tender, that means it's ready to drain. After draining, you have to wash the squid in cold water. Again, let it drain. In a bowl, combine
lemon juice, oil, garlic, salt, onion, parsley, and squid. Cover it and put it in the refrigerator for a few hours. You can serve this dish as an appetizer.
