How to cook squid tasty and simple

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare all the necessary products. We will need squid carcasses. They are usually sold frozen, so it is very important to defrost them properly. Immediately after the freezer, place the carcasses in the refrigerator, where the temperature is + 5 degrees for 6 hours. Then continue defrosting at room temperature. With such defrosting, the product will retain the maximum of useful substances.

2. Step 2:

   

   Also the squid should be cleaned well. I already have a half-peeled squid. But in the uncleaned version, first of all, it is necessary to remove the upper thick pink skin - I have just carcasses after removing it. But after that, you also need to remove another thin transparent skin and remove the insides. For easier skinning, use hot water - under it it is easily removed with a stocking. Also keep in mind that there is a skin inside the carcass of squid

3. Step 3:

   

   Next is a very important process of cooking squid. To begin with, boil water in a saucepan, add a little salt to it. When the water boils, dip the peeled squid skins into it. Cook the squid for no more than 2 minutes, preferably 1.5 minutes. If you digest squid, it will be tough, like rubber. And in order for it to become soft again, you will need to cook it for another 2 hours. Keep this in mind!

4. Step 4:

   

   Take out the skins, drain the water from them and cool a little. With a thin, sharp knife, cut the boiled squid carcasses into rings.

6. Step 5:

   

   If desired, pour lemon juice over the rings. If you squeeze the juice directly from a lemon, pre-wash it well with very hot water - so the lemon will give much more juice. Also, you can use the wave and ready-made lemon juice of factory production.

7. Step 6:

   

   Pepper the squid rings - any ground pepper will do: black, white, red, and pepper with lemon and garlic flavor.

   Such rings are a great snack. It is delicious both hot and cold. Bon appetit!
