Notes: Serve over fresh arugula or mustard greens.
Ingredients: 1 pound fresh calamari tentacles and bodies, well cleaned
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided
Salt and pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh cayenne or Fresno chili pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Juice of 1 lemon
Instructions: 1. Prepare calamari by cutting each body piece lengthwise into one flat
piece. In a large bowl, toss bodies and tentacles with one-third of the olive
oil, plus salt and pepper.
2. In a small bowl, mix together remaining olive oil,
chili pepper, parsley, and lemon juice. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
3. Using a hot frying pan or grill, cook calamari
pieces for about 2 minutes (about 1 minute on each side). Be careful not to
overcook; if you do, the calamari will be tough and rubbery. Place grilled
calamari on a plate and drizzle with chili salsa.
