GRILLED SQUID ON SPINACH, RED PEPPER, AND MANGO SALAD

Steps:

• Cut squid bodies open to make flat pieces and score inner side of flattened squid in a crosshatch pattern with a sharp knife, blade held horizontally at a 30-degree angle (do not cut all the way through flesh). Cut squid bodies into 4- by 1-inch pieces. Pat squid bodies and tentacles dry and toss with spices and 1/2 teaspoon oil.
• Cut sides from bell pepper and brush with 1/2 teaspoon oil.
• Heat a lightly oiled well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then grill bell pepper, turning once, until just tender, about 4 minutes. Cut bell pepper into strips.
• Grill squid bodies, crosshatch sides down, and tentacles, turning once, until just cooked through (squid will curl up as it cooks), about 2 minutes.
• Toss together bell pepper, spinach, mango, onion, lime juice, remaining 2 tablespoons oil, and salt and pepper to taste.
• Top salad with squid and serve with lime wedges.

SPINACH AND MANGO SALAD

GRILLED SQUID SALAD

Steps:

• Start a charcoal or gas grill; fire should be quite hot, with rack no more than 4 inches from heat source. If using wood skewers, soak them thoroughly in water.
• Toss squid with 2 tablespoons oil, juice of 1 lemon, garlic, salt and pepper. Let sit while grill heats, tossing occasionally. Skewer squid on parallel skewers to facilitate turning. When fire is hot, grill squid until nicely browned, turning once. Total cooking time will be about 5 minutes.
• Toss greens with remaining olive oil, juice of 1 or 2 lemons (to taste), salt, pepper and shallots. Top with squid, drizzle all with a little more lemon juice and serve.

GRILLED SQUID SALAD

Steps:

• Soak the capers in a bowl of water. Squeeze all the lemon juice into a large shallow bowl and add 4 tablespoons of oil. Peel the garlic and finely chop with the chilli, anchovies, pistachios, drained capers and mint leaves. Scrape it all into the bowl and mix together well.
• Reserving the tentacles, run a sharp knife down the length of each squid tube, cutting through one side only so you can open each one out like a book. Lightly score the inside of each tube in a criss-cross fashion at 1/2-centimeter (1/4-inch) intervals. To cook the squid, follow Franchina's guidance and get the tentacles on early, then add the tubes, from largest to smallest. In a screaming hot griddle pan or on a barbecue, cook each piece for about 1 minute per side--with no oil or seasoning--until lightly charred and starting to curl. Start with the cut side when you do the tubes, and keep the squid moving for even cooking. As each piece is done, use tongs to dunk it straight into the salsa, turning and coating it in all that flavour.
• Slice the tomatoes and lay over a serving platter. Finely slice the squid tubes, pull the tentacles apart, then arrange on top of the tomatoes. Spoon over all the remaining salsa and serve hot or at room temperature.
