Ingredients
- 280 g of whole squid tubes (around 6 tubes)
- 2 limes, zest & juice
- 2 green chillies, deseeded and finely chopped
- 20 g of coriander, chopped
- 3 tsp of olive oil, plus 1 tsp to drizzle on the squid before cooking
- 1 tsp of sea salt flakes
- 1 tsp of freshly ground black pepper, plus a pinch for the dressing
Method
Step 1
Take the squid tubes and place them on a chopping board. Pat them dry with a piece of kitchen paper and drizzle over the olive oil. Use your hands to rub the salt and pepper all over the squid tubes, inside and out.Step 2
Take 3 metal skewers and thread the tubes onto them as if you were sewing – up and down and up and down through the middle. Leave to one side while you make the dressing.Step 3
Put all the dressing ingredients into a large mixing bowl and whisk to combine.Step 4
Next, place the squid skewers over the hottest part of the BBQ and cook for 2 mins before turning and cooking for another 2 mins. They should take on some lovely charring very quickly. If anything still looks a little translucent then give it another min each side.Step 5
Carefully slide the squid off the hot skewers and onto a chopping board. Slice into rings and put them into the dressing while still hot. Toss and serve immediately. TIP: Keep an eye on the time, squid can go rubbery if it’s cooked for too long. You can also cook this in a very hot frying pan – follow the above cooking times.
