Squid and Bean Salad with Cilantro Cream
New England is known for its seafood, so we had to stop at a local fishmonger to get some freshly caught squid. Then, we grilled it up to make the perfect summer salad to accompany watching the sun set.

INGREDIENTS
- 1 whole squid, cleaned and scored diagonally to create a diamond effectĀ
- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
- Zest and juice of 1 lemon
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 whole head of garlic, roasted and mashedĀ
- 1 cup cilantro leaves, finely chopped, plus extra to garnish
- Sea salt
- 1 red onion, sliced into ringsĀ
- 1 x 15 oz. can of cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
- Mint leaves, to garnishĀ
- 1 jalapeƱo pepper, thinly sliced
- Lime wedges to serve
Cooking Tools
- Wood or charcoal for fireĀ
- Medium cast-iron panĀ
- 2 bowls
- Cast iron pan
Method
Light your fire and let it burn down for 1 hour until you have nice coals. (Or use hardwood charcoal.)
Place the squid in a bowl and dress with 1 tablespoon olive oil and lemon zest.Ā
Combine the sour cream, the remaining olive oil, lemon juice, mashed garlic, onions and chopped cilantro in a bowl and season to taste with salt.
Heat a cast iron frying pan until itās smoking hot and add the squid. You might need to place another pan on top of the squid as a weight so it doesnāt curl too much. Cook for 3 minutes or until nicely browned, turning once. Remove the squid from the pan and rest for 5 minutes before slicing.Ā
Return the pan to the heat and cook the onion ring slices for 5 minutes or until softened and lightly golden.Ā Ā
Place the beans on a serving platter, add the squid and dress with cilantro cream. Scatter mint leaves and extra cilantro leaves on top and serve with jalapeƱo peppers and lime wedges on the side.
