GRILLED SQUID WITH CHAMOMAYO

Categories     appetizer

Time 40m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup soybean, safflower or vegetable oil
1/4 cup dried chamomile flowers, pulverized in a spice grinder (you can get them from any place that sells loose-leaf tea, or rip open a couple of teabags)
2 tablespoons champagne or white wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 egg yolk
4 pounds squid bodies, cleaned (any fishmonger that can't get you squids can't be trusted... they come frozen to a fishmonger and are CHEAP)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Lemon wedges, for garnish, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the grill to high heat.
  • For the chamomayo: Heat the oil and chamomile flowers over low heat until the chamomile aromatizes and turns golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Strain the oil, discarding the chamomile flowers, and let cool.
  • Combine the vinegar, mustard, salt, sugar and egg yolk in the bowl of a food processor and blend for about 30 seconds. Add the thoroughly cooled oil through the emulsion tube. Voila. Chamomayo. Imagine the possibilities! Darjeeling Mayo! Matcha mayo! Earl Grayo!
  • Now for the squids. Slice the squid bodies open lengthwise, and lay flat on a cutting board with the outsides facing up. Gently score the squid with the tip of your knife in a crosshatch pattern, then sprinkle each side with salt and pepper... say one sprinkled pinch per. Don't be shy.
  • Toss the squid in a large bowl with the olive oil, then grill these guys for 2 to 4 minutes per side. I like mine a little under-done, but I'm a weirdo like that.
  • Transfer all the squids to a cutting board. Cut them into 1/2-inch rings. You can serve them in a pile and with the mayo on the side. If you want to get fancy and plate these up, slide a chopstick or iced-tea spoon up the middle of the rings to plate them in a neater fashion. Serve with lemon wedges, if desired.

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Beef     Steaks

Time 4h40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

½ cup sesame oil
⅓ cup sesame seeds
4 yellow onions, sliced
½ cup soy sauce
¼ cup lemon juice
1 tablespoon sugar
2 cloves garlic, crushed
¼ teaspoon whole black peppercorns
1 (2.5 pound) London broil steak

Steps:

  • Heat sesame oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir sesame seeds in hot oil until golden brown, about 1 minute. Transfer seeds and oil immediately to a large glass or ceramic baking dish.
  • Stir onions, soy sauce, lemon juice, sugar, garlic, and peppercorns into sesame mixture until marinade is evenly combined. Place steak into marinade, turning to coat all sides. Cover baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate, turning steak often, for at least 4 hours or up to overnight.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Cook the steak on the preheated grill until meat starts to firm and turns reddish-pink and juicy in the center, about 10 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) for medium rare. Transfer steak to a plate, cover with aluminum foil, and let rest for about 10 minutes. Slice across the grain.

GRILLED BABY SQUID



Grilled Baby Squid image

Categories     Sauce     Side     Marinate     Squid

Yield makes 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 pound cleaned baby squid or 1 1/2 pounds whole baby squid
Coarse salt to taste
About 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice or sherry vinegar, or to taste

Steps:

  • Start a charcoal or wood fire or preheat a gas grill; the fire should be quite hot (on a gas grill, as hot as you can get it) and the rack no more than 4 inches from the heat source and preferably less. Or preheat a heavy pan over high heat (and turn on an exhaust fan if you have one) for about 5 minutes.
  • If you need to clean the squid, pull off the head and tentacles and separate them by cutting just behind the head; save the tentacles and discard the head. Rinse out the inside of the bodies and dry well.
  • Sprinkle the squid with coarse salt and toss them lightly with a tablespoon or two of olive oil. If you are grilling, skewer the squid. Grill or pan-grill the squid quickly, about 1 minute per side; they should brown nicely but remain moist inside.
  • Put the squid on a plate. Drizzle with a little more olive oil and sprinkle with lemon juice or vinegar and a bit more salt. Serve immediately.
  • Grilled Baby Squid, Japanese Style
  • Here the grill is requisite, because the soy sauce coating would burn on a griddle: After cleaning the squid, marinate them briefly in a mixture of 1/4 cup soy sauce and 2 tablespoons mirin (or 1 tablespoon honey mixed with 1 tablespoon white wine). Grill and garnish with toasted sesame seeds (page 596). (Black sesame seeds are more commonly used here, and they look nice against the white squid, so if you can find them, by all means use them. Look in Japanese, Chinese, or Indian stores.)

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest squid possible. Look for squid that is firm and has a slightly translucent appearance. Avoid squid that is slimy or has a strong odor.
  • Clean the squid thoroughly. Remove the head, tentacles, and ink sac. Rinse the body of the squid under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels.
  • Score the squid. Use a sharp knife to make shallow cuts in the squid's body. This will help the marinade to penetrate the squid and will also prevent it from curling up when it is grilled.
  • Marinate the squid. There are many different ways to marinate squid. A simple marinade made with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs is a good place to start. You can also try marinating the squid in a mixture of soy sauce, mirin, and sake.
  • Grill the squid over high heat. This will help to sear the squid and give it a nice charred flavor. Be careful not to overcook the squid, or it will become tough.
  • Serve the squid immediately. Grilled squid is best enjoyed when it is hot and fresh off the grill. You can serve it with a variety of dipping sauces, such as soy sauce, lemon juice, or tartar sauce.

Conclusion:

Grilled sesame squid is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer or main course. It is a great way to enjoy the unique flavor of squid, and it is also a healthy and nutritious meal. With its simple ingredients and easy preparation, grilled sesame squid is a great dish for any occasion.
