Today I bring you one grilled cuttlefish, a dish that does not have much mystery, it is simple and fast. It is a light dish with little fat, it is a good dish if we are on a diet.
We can make the cuttlefish in many ways, with sauce it is very good, but if you do it on the grill the important thing is that it is fresh and if it can be not very large, so that it is tender I usually buy them in a medium or small size, this way i make sure i dont stay hard.
You can also buy them frozen, freezing also helps make it more tender, the only thing would be to let it defrost and dry it well with kitchen paper.

Ingredients
- 2 fresh or frozen cuttlefish
- 2-3 garlic
- 1 lemon
- parsley
- Buy
Preparation
- If we buy it frozen, we let it thaw and dry it well.
- If we buy it fresh, we will ask the fishmonger to clean it and cut it for us to grill.
- In a mixing glass we will put the garlic, the parsley, a little lemon juice and a good jet of oil, we will crush it with the blender. We reserve in the fridge.
- We put a grill on the fire or a pan with a good base, to be iron. When the iron is very hot, we put a splash of oil and put the cuttlefish wide open, we leave it without touching it for about 3 minutes on one side, we turn it over and leave it for another minutes or when we see that it is ready, we can put the legs at the same time, but I put them on later, when I have already removed the cuttlefish, because sometimes it leaks water.
- We take it out and put it on a plate. To accompany it, I have put some potatoes in the microwave until it is cooked. I cut it into slices and put it around the cuttlefish.
- We take the garlic and parsley sauce we have out of the fridge and sprinkle the cuttlefish and potatoes on top.
- And ready to serve !!
