Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 lb cleaned small squid
3/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon cayenne
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 red bell pepper
5 oz baby spinach, trimmed (3 cups)
1/2 mango, peeled, pitted, and cut into 1/2-inch cubes (1 cup)
1/4 small red onion, sliced
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice plus 4 lime wedges

Steps:

  • Cut squid bodies open to make flat pieces and score inner side of flattened squid in a crosshatch pattern with a sharp knife, blade held horizontally at a 30-degree angle (do not cut all the way through flesh). Cut squid bodies into 4- by 1-inch pieces. Pat squid bodies and tentacles dry and toss with spices and 1/2 teaspoon oil.
  • Cut sides from bell pepper and brush with 1/2 teaspoon oil.
  • Heat a lightly oiled well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then grill bell pepper, turning once, until just tender, about 4 minutes. Cut bell pepper into strips.
  • Grill squid bodies, crosshatch sides down, and tentacles, turning once, until just cooked through (squid will curl up as it cooks), about 2 minutes.
  • Toss together bell pepper, spinach, mango, onion, lime juice, remaining 2 tablespoons oil, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Top salad with squid and serve with lime wedges.

Categories     salads and dressings

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 pound dried black beans
1 1/2 teaspoons fennel seeds
1 1/4 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
4 cloves garlic
1/2 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves
Finely grated zest and juice of 1/2 lemon
1/2 cup Dijon mustard
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
12 large squid tubes, cleaned and left whole
Salt
black pepper
2 dried bay leaves
1 1/2 small onions, peeled
1/2 head fennel, minced
2 carrots, finely diced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon Espelette pepper, smoked paprika or sweet pimentón
Crusty bread, for serving

Steps:

  • The night before: soak the beans in cold water to cover by an inch, overnight. Combine the fennel seed, 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, 2 garlic cloves, parsley, lemon zest and mustard in a food processor. Purée, scraping the sides as needed, to form a smooth paste. With motor running, slowly drizzle in 1/2 cup olive oil to form an emulsion. Slather the marinade on the squid and season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • Strain the beans, place in a saucepan, and cover with cold water. Add the bay leaves, 1/2 onion and the 2 remaining garlic cloves. Bring to a boil over medium heat, reduce heat to low, and simmer until tender, about 1 hour. Strain the beans, reserving some of the liquid, and discard the bay leaves, onion and garlic.
  • Place a sauté pan over medium heat, and add remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Dice the remaining onion and add with the fennel and carrots. Add a pinch salt and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 3 minutes. Add the beans, cumin and remaining 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes. Mix, moistening with a bit of the bean liquid. Season with salt and pepper to taste and take it off the heat.
  • Preheat a grill for cooking over high heat. Grill the squid on the hottest part of the grill for a minute per side, letting it brown slightly in places. Remove squid from heat, squeeze the lemon juice over it, and slice the tubes into thin rings. Stir into the bean salad and sprinkle with Espelette pepper.
  • Serve warm with crusty bread, drizzling the unused marinade on top.
