Griddled cuttlefish with garlic and parsley

Cleaned cuttlefish seared on a very hot griddle until golden and tender, dressed with garlic, parsley and olive oil, with lemon and a lettuce and tomato salad. Squid and baby squid (chipirones) are cooked the same way, and many serve it with aioli.

Griddled cuttlefish with garlic and parsley

Contains: Shellfish

Ingredients for 4 portions

On the side

Method

  1. Cut the cuttlefish into large pieces and score a criss-cross pattern on the inner side so it doesn't curl up. Pat the pieces thoroughly dry with kitchen paper.
  2. Mix the garlic, parsley and olive oil in a small bowl.
  3. Wash and shred the lettuce, cut the tomatoes into wedges and dress with the oil, vinegar and a little salt.
  4. Heat a griddle or large frying pan over a high heat with a little oil. Cook the cuttlefish in batches for 3–4 minutes a side, until golden and tender. Season with salt.
  5. Spoon the garlic and parsley oil over the cuttlefish and serve with lemon wedges and the salad.
