Cumin has a very addictive kick and is a key ingredient in Indian and Middle Eastern food. It works with most meats, fish and vegetables; if you use it in a marinade for squid, it just caramelises that creamy white flesh.
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized squid weighing about 150g each, or 8 smaller ones, cleaned
- A little olive oil, for grilling and drizzling
For the spice mix
- 2 cloves of garlic, peeled and crushed
- 1/2tsp paprika
- 2tsp ground cumin
- 2tsp sea salt
Method
- 1. Mix all of the ingredients together for the spice mix, then coat the squid in the marinade and chill for at least 2 hours.
- 2. Preheat a barbecue or ridged griddle pan. Lightly oil the grill and cook the squid for 2-3 minutes on each side. Drizzle with olive oil and serve with a crisp green salad and lemon wedges.
