No Frills Calamari
Calamari is a well-known and loved dish. While this dish is sophisticated and usually a staple appetizer at expensive restaurants, this recipe makes it easier than it might seem!
Ingredients
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- butter
- 10 cloves garlic roughly chopped
- 700 g calamari sliced into rings
- 2-3 tbsp vinegar of choice
- 1 large lemon juiced
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- 3 tbsp fresh dill chopped
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat ¼ cup of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. Turn heat to medium-high and add the garlic, tossing regularly. Sauté only for a few seconds.
- Add the calamari to the pan and cook for 1 to 2 minutes over medium-high heat.
- Then add the vinegar and lemon juice with some salt and pepper to taste. Briefly cook to warm through the sauce. Be careful at this point not to overcook as your calamari will become rubbery.
- Now stir in the fresh herb before removing it from heat.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
Delicious by itself or served with basmati rice and a fresh tomato and onion salad.
