Really simple yet the flavors are quite complex. From the November, 2007 edition of Gourmet. It's supposed to serve four as a main course; we found it sufficient for three as a starter (either a tribute to the recipe or just further proof that we love to eat) Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs squid, cleaned |
1/4 lb bacon (about 5 slices) |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 cup scallion, chopped |
1/2 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes |
Directions:
1. Rinse squid and dry on paper towels.
2. Cut large tentacles in two and bodies into 1/2 rings.
3. Cut bacon into 1 pieces and brown in a 12 skillet.
4. Transfer bacon to paper towels to drain.
5. Turn the heat to high, get bacon fat very hot.
6. Toss calamari with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and add to skillet with the scallions and red pepper flakes.
7. Saute till just done, about three minutes.
8. Serve immediately, sprinkled with bacon.
