Ive mixed it in with a pasta sauce so its a seafood pasta meal, nummy! or chuck it in a stirfry?
I'd do it with saffron rice, it's really good with garlic and with seafood too from all the recipes I've read. My husband LOVES squid and I always pan fry it (takes less than 2 minutes or it goes to shit) and then serve it with this rice.
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a shallow pan, add a large pinch of paprika and two cloves of garlic finely chopped or crushed. As the garlic starts to brown, add 500g rice (preferably risotto/paella rice but long grain works too) and stir-fry for a minute or two so it's all combined. Make up 2 pints of the stock of your choice along with a large pinch of salt and ground black pepper as you prefer, add the saffron strands at this point - I usually just use a big pinch of them but it's up to you. Bring to the boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat and cook, uncovered, without stirring for 8-10 minutes. Reduce the heat again and cook for another 5 minutes. Test to check if it tastes right, if it does then serve it up with your squid. I usually serve cauliflower and/or green beans but veg etc is up to you.
I find it goes really well either on it's own or with other seafood in fried rice or noodle soup.
Nah, though you can "fry" (of sorts) it in a casserole dish which I sometimes do so I can just serve it in that.
Glad it was good - gonna buy it again?
