Ingredients
- 1 kilo of squid
- 2-3 potatoes
- 1 lemon
- 50-100 ml. Of olive oil
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1 lemon
- A handful of parsley
- Sal Island
Preparation
- To make the squid with garlic, we will start by cleaning the squid. We remove the skin, clean the legs and clean them inside, wash them well under the tap.
- This step is usually done in many fishmongers.
- We prepare the sauce, in a bowl we put the oil, the garlic cloves, a splash of lemon and a handful of parsley. We crush it, we reserve.
- In a flat plate or container, we put the clean and dry squid, we add a little of the sauce, stir so that they catch the mixture and take on the flavor and leave them to marinate for about 30 minutes.
- We make some cuts in the squid, when the grill is hot we will put the marinated squid, first the bodies. We leave a few minutes on one side and finish on the other side.
- When the bodies are done we end up making the legs, as they are harder you can add a little oil from the sauce we have.
- We make some potatoes cooked or in the microwave.
- We take a source or a plate, we put slices of cooked potatoes on the base and on top the squid and the legs. We can drizzle with a little more of the garlic oil that we have prepared.
