Our Calamari is grilled - not fried - and amazing

Prepare to impress your next dinner with this perfectly spicy seafood aperitif.


Squid is one of the most abundant forms of seafood in the global market, but few Americans have already appreciated it in any other way that breaded and fries with amarinara Chaser. With this type of treatment, this could be a onion in bloom and you would not know the difference, is not it?

Thissalad To all the trappings of the aperitif-crunchy crunchy with peanuts, tomatoes, some spices - but much more. We do not want to promise that you will never go back on the french stuff after that, but it's a distinct possibility.

Instead of a mess of the fried dough, you will be pleasantly surprised by the amount of flavor that you can actually taste with our Calamari version.

Grill Squid ranks right next to the binding of your shoes and make your bed in the difficulty category, but most people are terrified from the perspective. Buy whole bodies of Calmaria (fully cleaned, fresh, fresh or frozen, at any decent fish market or quality grocery store), and grill them in full on a vegetable fire for more than 5 minutes or cut in rings and Saufs in olive oil for the same time.

It is surprisingly easy, but an impressive skill of having when it comes to whipping a pleasant aperitif to the crowd like this one.
