Squid
in their own ink, Algarve Style
Ingredients:
Serves
4
- 1,200
kg of medium-sized squid ;
- 1
dl of olive oil ;
- 3
cloves of garlic ;
- 1
bay leaf ;
- 1
dl of dry white wine ;
- 1
bunch of parsley ;
- half
a lemon ;
- 3
peppercorns ;
- 800
grs of potatoes ;
- salt
to taste ;
- pepper
to taste ;
- water
Preparation:
Prepare
the squid, removing the guts and he skin. Wash
them carefully in cold water not opening them
in order to take away the impurities. Then season
them with salt and pepper.
Place a deep pan on the flame. Pour the olive
oil into the pan, and add the cloves of garlic
crushed in their peels, the bay leaf and the
peppercorns. Let the garlic brown but not burn.
Add the squid, frying them on both sides on
a low flame.
Add the white wine and, if necessary, a little
water to conclude the cooking. When the squid
are cooked, sprinkle them with chopped parsley.
Place them on a serving dish, accompanied by
boiled potatoes and lemon segments.
Hint:
The squid should be medium-sized because
those are more tender, which makes the cooking
easier. When they are ready they can also be
served with fried potatoes.
