Best 8 Crispy Squid And Cracked Conch Salad With Orange Chipotle Vinaigrette Recipes

CONCH SALAD

Steps:

• Tenderize conch with a meat mallet. Dice into bite-sized chunks. Soak conch in 1 cup lemon juice for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
• Drain off lemon juice and place conch in a bowl. Add tomatoes, onion, green pepper, cucumber, seasoning blend, and seasoned salt; mix thoroughly.
• Transfer conch mixture to a container. Add remaining 1/4 cup lemon juice, tomato juice, and lime juice; mix well. Stir in vinegar and hot sauce. Refrigerate until flavors combine, about 1 hour. Serve cold.

ORANGE CITRUS VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Whisk together the vinegar, orange juice, oil, cilantro, mustard, garlic, and honey in a bowl; store in refrigerator.

SNAPPER WITH ORANGE CHIPOTLE VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• In a blender or food processor fitted with the metal blade, combine the orange juice, vinegar, chipotle chilies, salt, and sugar and blend until chilies are finely chopped. With the motor running, add the oil in a steady stream and blend until incorporated. Adjust seasonings, add the mint and set aside. The vinaigrette can be refrigerated overnight without the mint, which should be added just before serving.
• Heat a grill. Brush fillets with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill until cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. To serve, transfer snapper fillets to a serving platter or individual plates and drizzle with the orange chipotle vinaigrette.

ORANGE AND ENDIVE SALAD WITH MAPLE CHIPOTLE VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Whisk together orange juice, syrup, oil, vinegar, onion, lemon juice, chipotle with adobo sauce, and salt in a bowl until combined well.
• Remove peel and any white pith from oranges with a sharp knife. Cut oranges crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Separate endive leaves and arrange with oranges on a platter, then drizzle with vinaigrette.

CRISPY SQUID WITH ORANGE-CHIPOTLE VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• For the Orange-Chipotle Vinaigrette:
• Place the orange juice in a medium nonreactive saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until thick and reduced to 3/4 cup.
• Transfer to a bowl and let cool slightly.
• Place the reduced orange juice, onion, garlic, vinegar, chipotle puree, honey, salt and pepper in a blender and blend until smooth.
• With the motor running, slowly add the oil until emulsified.
• For the Crispy Squid Salad:
• Fill a large saucepan halfway with the oil and heat until it reaches 350 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer.
• Line a large plate or baking sheet with paper towels, set aside. Whisk together the flour and 1 1/2 cups of the water in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper. The mixture should resemble crepe batter, if it is too thick; add more water a few tablespoons at a time, then season with salt and pepper.
• Season squid with salt and pepper and working in batches, dip 1/3 of the squid in the rice flour batter and allow the excess to drip off then dredge in the cornmeal. Fry until lightly golden brown and crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on the paper towel-lined plate. Season immediately with salt.
• Place the greens in a bowl and drizzle with about 1/4 cup of the orange-chipotle vinaigrette and season with salt and pepper. Mound the greens on a platter and place some of the sliced cherry peppers on top. Place the squid around the perimeter of the platter, drizzle all with more of the vinaigrette and garnish with parsley leaves.

CHILLI & LIME SQUID SALAD

Steps:

• Mix two-thirds of the chillies and the garlic-infused oil in a large bowl and add the squid. Cover with cling film and leave them to marinate for at least 1 hr or overnight in the fridge.
• Just before serving, heat the barbecue or a griddle pan. Combine the avocado slices with the rocket. Divide between 6 small plates or bowls.
• When the barbecue is hot or your griddle pan almost smoking, add the limes, cut-side down. Tip on the squid, pressing lightly with the back of a fish slice to create charred lines. When the squid feels slightly firm, about 1 min 30 secs into cooking, turn over and press down with the fish slice again, cooking for another 1 min 30 secs or until the squid feels firm. Remove and place on a board.
• Slice the squid into 1-2cm rings and top each salad with a few rings and some crispy onions. Serve half a charred lime on the side for squeezing over, with the remaining chilli scattered over and a drizzle of garlic oil.
