Chargrill or sauté baby squid for no more than a few minutes, or coat squid rings in seasoned flour or a light batter and deep-fry. Since it does not have a strong flavour in itself, squid benefits from being marinated before cooking, or paired with punchy ingredients like chilli or chorizo. Squid ink pasta adds instant appeal to any dish. But it requires the right flavor combinations to bring out the delicate salty undertones. To capitalize on this, a dressing with savory anchovies, spicy chili, and aromatic garlic makes the perfect companion.
