Nyt Roasted Squid Recipes

Steps:

• Rinse the squid under cool running water. Drain and transfer to a paper towel to dry completely. Cut the bodies into 1/2-inch rings and leave the tentacles whole. Pat dry again with paper towels.
• Place a large skillet over high heat. Let the pan get very hot, for a good 5 minutes. Move the squid from the paper towels to a bowl, so that they don't stick before you add them to the pan. Add half the oil to the skillet. Sprinkle half the squid with salt, slide them into the pan along with half the chiles and cook without moving for 1 minute. Flip squid and stir in half the garlic; cook 1 to 2 minutes more, until squid is tender. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining squid, garlic, chiles and oil. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan; if your skillet doesn't fit the squid comfortably, cook them in smaller batches.
• Squeeze lime all over the squid and sprinkle with mint.
• Top the crusty bread with sliced avocado if you like, and season avocado with salt and lime juice. Serve with the squid.

Steps:

• Make the salsa: Put the tomatillos, jalapeño, cilantro, salt and lime juice in a food processor or blender. Pulse until all components come together to make a rough purée. Transfer salsa to a serving dish.
• Wash potatoes, put in a small pot, cover with 1 inch of water, add a teaspoon of salt and cook at a brisk simmer, covered, over medium heat for 10 to 15 minutes. When done, drain and set aside until cool enough to handle, then cut in half with a small sharp knife (leave skins on).
• Meanwhile, roast the poblanos: Place whole chiles directly on flames of a full-blast stovetop burner, turning with tongs frequently until blackened and blistered all over. Alternatively, blacken chiles on a sheet pan as close to broiler as possible or on a grill over coals. Set aside to cool on a plate (do not wrap in plastic film - you want the chile flesh to stay firm).
• To clean poblanos, wipe off their charred skin with paper towels or the back of a knife. Do not rinse; a few bits of char is O.K. Cut chiles lengthwise in half and scrape out seed and veins with knife. Cut chiles lengthwise into 3/8-inch-wide strips and set aside.
• Heat oven to 450 degrees. Rinse squid and drain well. Pat dry on layers of paper towel or cloth kitchen towel. Transfer squid bodies to a sheet pan in one layer. Arrange tentacles on a smaller baking sheet. Season bodies generously on both sides with salt and pepper, and season tentacles. Drizzle 2 tablespoons olive oil evenly over squid bodies and 1 tablespoon olive oil over tentacles. Place baking sheets in oven and roast until bodies have puffed and tentacles have firmed, about 6 to 8 minutes. (Alternatively, cook squid in batches in a cast-iron pan over high heat or on a grill over coals.)
• To assemble the room-temperature salad, arrange potatoes on a large platter. Distribute the squid over potatoes, then scatter poblano strips, avocado, sliced onion and cherry tomatoes over squid. Sprinkle lightly with salt and drizzle with a little more olive oil, if desired. Add cilantro sprigs and jalapeño slices, if using, and garnish with lime wedges. Serve the salsa at the table, to be spooned over each serving, and warm tortillas, if desired.

Steps:

• Rinse squid under cool running water. Drain and transfer them to a paper towel to dry completely. Cut bodies into 1/2-inch rings and halve tentacles.
• Place a large skillet over high heat. Let pan get very hot, heating it for a good 5 minutes. Move half the squid from the paper towels to a bowl, so they don't stick when you slide them into the pan. Add 1 tablespoon oil to skillet. Season squid with salt, slide them into the pan, and cook without moving for 1 minute. Flip squid and cook 30 seconds more. Repeat with remaining squid and oil. Don't overcrowd the pan; if your skillet doesn't fit the squid comfortably, cook them in smaller batches.
• In a medium bowl, combine cooked squid with lime juice and zest, fish sauce, shallot, jalapeño and cilantro. Let stand at room temperature for 1 hour (or refrigerate for up to 6 hours, then bring to room temperature before serving). Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve mounded onto cucumber rounds or scooped into shot glasses (and served with a fork), with peanuts sprinkled on top.

Steps:

• Put potatoes in a pot of well-salted water and bring to a simmer. Let simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain; keep warm.
• Place oven rack in the top position and heat oven to 475 degrees. Rinse squid inside and out, then drain and pat dry. Cut tentacles in half if large, but leave squid bodies whole. Season on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Put a large cast-iron skillet over high heat. When hot, add 2 tablespoons olive oil and the chorizo. Let chorizo sizzle. Add red pepper flakes, then add squid all at once in 1 layer. Do not crowd squid; use 2 pans if necessary. Stir to coat squid with oil.
• Immediately transfer pan to top rack in hot oven. Let roast for 6 to 10 minutes, depending on size of squid. They are ready when bodies are puffed and starting to brown and crisp at edges. Pour off and reserve pan juices and chorizo.
• To serve, slice potatoes and, if you like, cut squid into rings. Arrange greens, potatoes and squid on a large platter, dust lightly with pimentón and sprinkle with parsley. Spoon pan juices and chorizo over everything.

Steps:

• Place the beans and the broth in a saucepan over medium heat and simmer until tender. Meanwhile, make the vinaigrette by whisking all ingredients together. Set aside.
• Begin the sturgeon by combining the sake, ginger, cilantro and pepper and coating the fillets with the mixture. Refrigerate. Begin the ginger butter by combining all the ingredients except the butter, red pepper and salt, in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Simmer until the mixture is reduced to a syrup consistency, about 20 minutes.
• While the ginger butter is cooking, drain the beans. Melt 2 teaspoons butter in a medium nonstick saute pan over medium heat. Add the beans and shallots, lightly season with salt and pepper stir and cook until shallots brown, about 5 minutes. Set aside and keep warm.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Wipe the marinade off the fish. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in an ovenproof skillet. Sear the fillets, about 1 minute per side. Place in the oven and roast until cooked through, about 8 to 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, finish the ginger butter: Whisking constantly, drop the cold butter, a few bits at a time, into the the ginger syrup over very low heat. Remove from heat and stir in red pepper and salt. Set aside.
• When the fish is done, remove the fillets from the skillet and set aside. Place the pan over medium heat. Add the squid and saute until done, about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes.
• To serve, coat 6 plates with the plum vinaigrette. Divide the bean mixture among the plates, placing it in the center. Place a sturgeon fillet over the beans. Top with the squid, season lightly with salt and pepper to taste and drizzle with ginger butter. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Put olive oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add half the diced onion and cook, stirring, until softened and barely colored, about 5 minutes. Season generously with salt and pepper, then add garlic, saffron and red pepper and cook for 1 minute more.
• Add squid bodies and tentacles, stir well to coat and season with salt. Add tomato, bay leaf and 1/4 cup white wine. Add 1 cup water and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes, then stir in squid ink. Simmer for 10 minutes more, until squid is tender. Taste and adjust seasoning. Set aside.
• Melt butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Add remaining onion, season with salt and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add rice, stir to coat, and cook for 2 minutes more.
• Keeping heat brisk, add remaining 1/4 cup wine and 2 cups of the broth and simmer, stirring, until most of the liquid has been absorbed. Add another cup broth and cook for 5 minutes, stirring. Add the last cup of broth and all of the squid mixture. Cook, stirring, for 5 to 7 minutes more, until rice is just done. Taste and adjust seasoning.
• Add a little more broth, as necessary, to keep rice moist and loose, but not too soupy. Stir in lemon zest and parsley, then spoon into warm shallow soup bowls. Drizzle with a little olive oil and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Cut the squid bodies into thin rounds and the triangular fins and tentacles into small pieces. Dry on paper towels.
• Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add half the squid and saute just until it turns completely white. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a bowl. Repeat with the remaining squid. Pour the cooking oil over the squid in the bowl.
• Add the vinegar to the pan and swirl around to deglaze, then pour it over the squid. Add the garlic, salt and cayenne and toss to mix. Let stand at room temperature until cooled.

Steps:

• In a large, sturdy saucepan, heat the oil until hot but not smoking. Add the onion, celery and scallion, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the squid and rice, and mix well.
• Stir in the tomato, garlic, ginger, lemon peel, Thai pepper and salt, along with 2 1/2 cups warm tap water. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally so it doesn't stick. When it comes to a full boil, reduce the heat to very low, cover, and cook for 20 minutes.
• Let the mixture rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. If desired, pass additional salt and Tabasco sauce.

Steps:

• Combine the lemon grass, chili flakes, lemon and lime juices, ginger and 1 teaspoon of the olive oil in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Pour half of this vinaigrette into a small bowl. Refrigerate. Blanch the squid in boiling salt water for 1 minute. Drain. Rinse under cold running water until chilled and add to the vinaigrette. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Drain the squid. Set aside. Pour the reserved vinaigrette into a large glass or ceramic bowl. Whisk in the remaining olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the squid, peppers, scallions and coriander. Toss to combine. Divide the lettuce between 4 plates. Top with the salad and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Make the filling: Blanch the chard in boiling water for 1 minute, then drain and cool under running water. Squeeze chard completely dry and finely chop. Set aside.
• Put 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet or wide saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and fennel, season with salt and pepper, and cook until softened and lightly colored, about 10 minutes.
• Add fennel fronds, fennel seed, anchovy, garlic, oregano and red pepper. Cook, stirring, for about 2 minutes more.
• Turn off heat and transfer mixture to a mixing bowl. Add pine nuts, lemon zest, bread crumbs, cheese and reserved cooked chard. Mix well with a wooden spoon. Taste and correct seasoning.
• Heat oven to 375 degrees. Using a teaspoon, put some filling in each squid body, taking care not to overstuff. Place stuffed squid in an earthenware baking dish in one layer. Season squid on both sides with salt and pepper and drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Season tentacles with salt and pepper and arrange them around the edge of dish (alternatively, arrange tentacles in a separate baking dish). Drizzle tentacles lightly with oil. Spoon any remaining stuffing over tentacles.
• Roast uncovered for 15 to 20 minutes, until squid bodies are puffed, sizzling and lightly browned. If desired, run pan under the broiler for more color. Sprinkle with parsley and serve with lemon wedges. (May also be served at room temperature.) Serve each person 3 or 4 squid, with tentacles.

Steps:

• Combine the oil, garlic and onion in a large saucepan. Cover and cook over low heat until the onion softens, about 15 minutes. Stir constantly. Add the peppers, tomatoes, wine and marjoram. Cover with 1 quart of cold water. Bring the water to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 40 minutes.
• Pass the sauce through a food mill. Add salt, pepper and Tabasco. This recipe can be made ahead of time to this point and kept for up to 4 days in the refrigerator.
• One hour before serving, warm the sauce in a large saucepan. Add the potatoes and the squid and simmer until tender, about 40 minutes. Serve in warm bowls garnished with parsley and coriander.
