Method

  • step 1

    Cook the peppers whole under a grill, on a barbecue or griddle, until completely charred. Place the peppers in a bowl, cover with a plate until cool enough to handle, then peel, deseed and finely slice. In a large bowl mix the peppers and any juices with the chickpeas, parsley, chilli and garlic. Set aside.

  • step 2

    Heat a large frying pan until smoking. Working quickly and carefully, add a splash of oil to the pan, then the squid. Stir-fry for about 30 secs. Scatter the chorizo over the squid, continue to cook for 30 secs more, then tip into the bowl with the peppers. Season everything with salt and pepper, then dress with the remaining oil, lemon juice and lemon zest. Mix together, pile onto a platter and let everyone help themselves.

RECIPE TIPS
COOK IT ON THE BBQ

Mix the peppers and chickpeas as stated, and fry the chorizo in a frying pan. Barbecue the squid tubes whole, then remove and slice into rings (watch out, they will be hot) before tossing through the salad.

IS IT SUSTAINABLE

There are numerous species of squid, some of which are caught in the north-east Atlantic and, with a few exceptions, are in plentiful supply and are often under-used, particularly in the UK. They grow quickly, which is a key point for sustainability.

HEALTHY BENEFITS

Squid is an excellent source of the immune supportive mineral selenium, a lack of which has been linked with heart disease and cancer. It also supplies useful quantities of iodine which, with selenium, supports the thyroid and is vital for a healthy metabolism.

I created my account solely to warn people that all the time spent to cook that recipe is pretty much a waste of time. My bf is Australian… I did it for him and he told me that’s not an Australian recipe at all: 1st deception. The 2nd deception is in the flavor. This salad is just not good: too…

Best salad EVER. Absolutely love this, have made it a few times now and always turns out well! I use roasted peppers from a jar, rather than roasting them myself and usually half the quantities for a decent main course for 3. Serve with some nice crusty bread for mopping up the juices!!!! Mmmm,…

Absolutely delicious! Followed alanjns's method, also kept and mixed in all the juices from the peppers and squid and added a whole roasted garlic. Tried to cut up the squid to aprx 1 inch lengths so they stood out more. Big win around the table.
