Squid Pilaf

Love pilaf but craving something out of the ordinary? Make it with squid! If you're as much of a seafood fan as I am, you'll love this recipe — a great way to shake up the everyday menu. It's very simple, though you'll need to soak the chickpeas ahead of time. Leave the bacon off at the end and it's a fully vegetarian (or Lenten) dish.

    1. Soak the chickpeas overnight (at least 6–8 hours). 2. Boil the chickpeas and rice until almost done. 3. Peel the onion and cut it into cubes or half-rings. 4. If you're using whole squid, rinse and clean them, pound them lightly, and cut into pieces. For this pilaf I prefer to use rings. 5. Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet, add the onion and squid, and fry everything together for 5–7 minutes. 6. Transfer the onion and squid to a heavy pot or cauldron, layer the chickpeas on top, then the rice. 7. Season with salt and your spices to taste. 8. Pour in enough water to just cover the rice — you don't need much, and no need to stir. 9. Cover the pot and simmer everything until the rice is done, about 10–15 minutes on average. 10. Stir the pilaf, scatter with pieces of bacon and fresh herbs, and serve. Enjoy!
