Cooking method

Step 1:

You can make all kinds of dishes with squid: appetizers, salads, soups. In this recipe, though, I'll show you how to make marinated squid. Gather the ingredients from the list.
Step 2:

For the marinade, mix the vinegar, oil, minced garlic, red pepper, tomato paste, salt, coriander, and sugar. Don't forget to add a little nutmeg.
Step 3:

Rinse the squid, remove the membranes and the clear quill, and pat dry. Cut the tubes open, lay them flat, and score the inside with a few crosshatch cuts. Slice the flesh crosswise into wide, long strips.
Step 4:

Put the squid in the marinade and chill it for several hours.
Step 5:

Grill the marinated squid for about five minutes. As you can see, the recipe is quite simple. Serve the squid hot with dill, parsley, and lemon wedges.

Squid isn't just incredibly tasty — it's also very good for you, which is why seafood lovers adore it. Squid gives your body about as much protein as fish does — around 16% — the kind of quality protein your muscles need. It's also full of minerals and trace elements, including iodine, phosphorus, and selenium, and it's a source of B vitamins, especially B3, B6, and B12. Squid contains DHA and EPA, the omega-3 fatty acids that support the immune, circulatory, and hormonal systems, help lower blood pressure, and reduce the risk of atherosclerosis. It's also a natural source of copper, which the body needs to make collagen and hemoglobin. And that's far from all it has going for it. So make some marinated squid and enjoy it — deliciously and healthfully! Enjoy!
