Squid and Marinade

Vegetables

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chermoula Marinade

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, parsley, cumin, paprika, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Squid

    Add the cleaned and sliced Humboldt squid to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Blister the Tomatoes

    In a skillet over medium heat, add a bit of olive oil. Add the cherry tomatoes and cook until they are blistered and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

  2. 4

    Grill the Broccoli

    Preheat the grill. Toss the broccoli florets in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill for about 5-6 minutes until tender and slightly charred. Remove and set aside.

  3. 5

    Fry the Shallots

    In a frying pan, heat oil over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced shallots and fry until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.

  4. 6

    Grill the Squid

    Preheat the grill to high heat. Grill the marinated squid for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until cooked through and slightly charred. Remove from heat.

Serving

  1. 7

    Plate the Dish

    On a large platter, arrange the grilled squid, blistered tomatoes, and grilled broccoli. Top with crispy shallots for garnish and serve immediately.
