Caught anything lately? Post up how you cooked it here and if it was a success. Doesn't only have to be fish....

Steamed Calamari

Post by James Duke »

One I found on the internet that works well -

1 pound calamari, squid
1 lemon
2 bay leafs
2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
2 cups water

In a small pot that can fit a steamer, heat 2 cups water, zest of 1 lemon, and 2 bay leafs cover and steam for 20 minutes. Clean and cut the tubes to 1/2" pieces and clean the tentacles. Place squid in steamer and cook on low for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove and place in a bowl drizzle olive oil, juice of half a lemon, salt, pepper and parsley over the calamari, enjoy.
Regards,

James
