Squid Image Used Under Creative Commons License From The Guardian
The island of Majorca is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe – but oddly enough, it is visited almost exclusively by other Europeans! It remains virtually unheard of in the US, but if you visit there in the Summer, you’re more likely to hear British English spoken around you than Spanish.
The cuisine of Majorca is simple, yet reflects the powerful dynamic of Spanish flavors. Seafood, almonds and herbs dominate the ingredients of this beautiful island, best exemplified in this delicious recipe from Britain’s “The Guardian” newspaper.
Enjoy this unique Majorcan recipe and do try and visit the island sometime – you will thank me. 🙂
1/2 clove of garlic, pounded to a paste with a pinch of salt
Freshly ground black pepper
***
To serve:
Some peppy green salad leaves
40g flaked, toasted almonds
A pinch or two of smoked paprika
Flaky sea salt
Instructions
Slit open the cone bodies of the squid, rinse and wipe well. Score the inside in a crisscross fashion with a serrated knife. (Cut larger bodies into two.) In a bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic, paprika, herbs, lemon zest, salt and pepper, add the squid and marinade for an hour. Whisk together the ingredients for the dressing.
Heat a griddle or frying pan until very hot. Drain the squid from the marinade and sauté quickly, a minute or so on each side. Arrange on plates with some salad leaves and trickle over some dressing. Scatter over the almonds, sprinkle on a little paprika and a pinch of flaky sea salt, and serve immediately.
