Marinated Calamari Recipe

Marinate the Calamari

In a bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Add the calamari and marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Grill the Cabbage

Brush the cabbage wedges with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill over medium-high heat for about 5-7 minutes on each side until charred and tender.

Prepare Cannellini Beans

In a pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add the drained cannellini beans, salt, pepper, and thyme. Cook for 5 minutes until warmed through.

Make Agrodolce Sauce

In a small saucepan, combine red wine vinegar, sugar, and water. Add bay leaves and bring to a simmer. Cook for about 10 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove bay leaves before serving.

Grill the Calamari

Preheat the grill to high heat. Thread the marinated calamari onto skewers. Grill for 2-3 minutes on each side until cooked through and slightly charred.

Plate the Dish

On a plate, arrange the grilled cabbage, top with warmed cannellini beans, and place the grilled calamari on top. Drizzle with agrodolce sauce before serving.
