Grilled Calamari With Arugula Recipes

Steps:

• For the vinaigrette: Add the grapefruit juice and vinegar to a medium bowl. Add the olive oil while whisking to combine. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
• For the calamari salad: Mix together the oil, chili flakes, garlic, lemon juice and zest, parsley and some salt in a large bowl. Add the calamari, toss together and let marinate for 20 minutes or up to 1 hour. Preheat a grill to high heat. Remove the calamari from the marinade and skewer them. Skewering the rings of the calamari onto 2 skewers each will help to keep them on the skewer and not fall off into the grill. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and grill for about 2 minutes per side. They should be slightly charred and opaque. Add the calamari, arugula, grapefruit segments, fennel and vinaigrette to a large bowl and toss. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Put 1 cup of the herb oil in a mixing bowl. Add calamari, cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
• Preheat a grill to high heat.
• Remove calamari, season with salt and pepper on both sides and grill for approximately 4 minutes per side. While the calamari is cooking, put all other ingredients and the remaining 1 cup herb oil in a mixing bowl. Slice calamari into thin juliennes, and add to all of the ingredients. Mix thoroughly, season with salt and pepper.
• Combine all ingredients. This can be prepared in advance and used for multiple recipes.

Steps:

• Cut each calamari tube in strips lengthwise that are about 1/4-inch wide. If using the tentacles, cut in segments.
• Coat a large saute pan generously with olive oil. Add the smashed garlic cloves and crushed red pepper and bring to a high heat. When the garlic is golden brown and very aromatic remove the garlic and discard. Carefully add the calamari and quickly toss or stir in the hot oil. Season with salt and saute for 1 to 2 minutes or until the calamari turn from translucent to opaque. Add the wine and the olives and cook until the wine has reduced by about half. Taste to see if the seasoning is correct.
• While the calamari is cooking, toast or grill the bread. Rub the bread with the remaining garlic clove and drizzle generously with olive oil.
• Divide the arugula between 4 serving bowls. Spoon the calamari and juices over the greens. Cut each piece of bread in half on the bias and arrange on the calamari. Garnish with chives and serve.

CALAMARI SALAD: Mix together the oil, chili flakes, garlic, lemon juice and zest, parsley and some salt in a large bowl. Add the calamari, toss together and let marinate for 20 minutes or up to 1 hour. Preheat a grill to high heat. Remove the calamari from the marinade and skewer them. Skewering the rings of the calamari onto 2 skewers each will help to keep them on the skewer and not fall off into the grill. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and grill for about 2 minutes per side.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Heat 3 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook until lightly browned, about 15 seconds. Add the squid and cook for 1 minute. Pour in the wine and season with salt and pepper to taste. Place the skillet in the oven just until the squid curls into cylinders, about 2 to 4 minutes.
• Immediately remove the squid from the skillet with a slotted spoon. Place over medium heat, add the lemon juice and simmer until the liquid is reduced to about 1/3 cup. Return the squid to the pan. Remove the pan from the heat and toss in the tomato, parsley and arugula. Place on a platter, drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Dressing: Whisk together lemon juice and oil. Season with salt and pepper.
• Squid: Clean squid by cutting body open to make a flat piece and scraping out guts. Keep tentacles in their bunches but remove eyes and mouth. Using a serrated knife, score inner side of flattened squid body with parallel lines 1/2 inch apart, and then lines equally apart the other way to make crosshatching.
• To make the sauce, put chiles in a bowl and cover with oil. Season with salt and pepper.
• Heat grill for direct heat (or a grill pan on high). Place squid (including tentacles), scored-side down, on grill, season with salt and pepper, and grill 1 to 2 minutes. Turn squid pieces over; they will immediately curl up, by which time they will be cooked.
• Toss arugula in dressing. Arrange two squid bodies with tentacles on each plate with some arugula. Put a little chile sauce on squid and serve, with lemon quarters.
