This is a Friday night favourite, one I will never get tired of….granted it ain’t exactly ‘Autumnal’ but it’s Friday, the pub is calling (already) and this is yer only man when you fancy something tasty, quick and surprisingly healthy……forget the kebabs, get this in after a skinful at the Dog and Duck!

If you can, use baby squid, it’s practically guaranteed not to go rubbery, make sure you get the tentacles as well as they are the best part of the beastie. If you’re buying them whole you need to clean and gut which is dead easy……pull the body away from the tentacles, scoop out the insides including the quill (a feather shaped transparent bone), whip out the beak and job done. You will be left with a little white sock and a few tentacles – wash well under cold running water and pat dry.

You need to work with squid pretty immediately so don’t hang around!
