Yield Makes 4 main-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 lb cleaned squid
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 large garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 small red onion, halved lengthwise, then thinly sliced crosswise (1 cup)
1/3 cup pitted Kalamata olives, halved lengthwise
2 cups cherry or grape tomatoes (3/4 lb), halved or quartered if large
2 celery ribs, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
1 cup loosely packed fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves

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.

1/4 teaspoon toasted and ground cumin seeds

Categories     Salad     Appetizer     Christmas     Squid     Boil

Yield serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 fresh bay leaves
The whole peel and juice of 1 lemon
1 1/2 pounds calamari bodies and tentacles, cleaned, bodies cut into 1/2-inch rings
1 cup pitted, slivered green olives
4 inner stalks celery, with leaves, sliced thin on the bias
1 cup roasted red-bell-pepper strips
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon peperoncino flakes, or to taste
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley

Steps:

  • Pour 2 inches of water into a large Dutch oven or pot and bring to a boil. Add the bay leaves and lemon peel, and continue to boil for a few minutes, until they release their aromas.
  • Set a colander or steamer over (but not touching) the water. Slip the calamari rings and tentacles into the colander or steamer, adjust the heat so the water is simmering, and cover. Cook until the calamari is just cooked through and has gone from opaque to translucent, about 6 to 7 minutes.
  • Combine the olives, celery, roasted pepper, salt, oregano, peperoncino, and lemon juice in a large bowl. When the calamari is done, add it to the bowl, drizzle with the olive oil, and toss. Sprinkle in the parsley, toss again, and serve warm or at room temperature.
