Ingredients
- 2 medium squid with tentacles
- 2 tsp Maldon sea salt
- 2 tsp sweet smoked paprika
- 2 tsp chilli flakes
- 120 g chorizo, peeled and cut into 1 cm-thick slices
- mixed leaves lettuce, to serve
Lemon oil
- 1 lemon, peel removed in wide strips
- 60 ml (¼ cup) extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
To make the lemon oil, use a small sharp knife to remove and discard any white pith from the lemon peel. Place the peel and oil in a small saucepan and cook over low until just warmed. Remove from the heat and stand until cool, then strain the oil and discard the peel.
Cut the squid in half lengthways, then into 2.5 cm pieces, leaving the tentacles whole.
Combine the salt, paprika and chilli flakes in a small bowl and set aside.
Cook the chorizo in a large frying pan over medium heat until golden and the fat has rendered. Remove from the pan leaving as much oil in the pan as possible. Increase the heat to high, add the squid and toss for 1-1½ minutes or just until tender. Add the spice mix and chorizo and toss to combine well, then remove from the heat.
Lightly dress the mixed leaves with the lemon oil and arrange on a plate. Scatter with the squid and chorizo, drizzle with a little extra lemon oil and serve immediately.
