Time 30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds cleaned squid
Juice of 2 lemons
Salt to taste
2 cups crustless country bread torn in small pieces
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 large cloves garlic, minced
6 ripe plum tomatoes, chopped
1 medium red onion, sliced thin 2 tablespoons finely minced
Italian parsley

Steps:

  • Slice the squid into thin rings and coarsely chop the tentacles. Preheat an oven or toaster oven to 400 degrees. Bring two quarts of water to a boil.
  • When the water is boiling, add the juice of half a lemon and season it with a teaspoon of salt. Add the squid and stir and when the water returns to a boil, drain the squid and allow it to cool to room temperature.
  • Spread the bread on a baking sheet, place in the oven and bake until the bread has dried out and turned lightly golden.
  • Heat the oil in a heavy skillet, stir in the garlic, remove from the heat immediately, pour the oil and garlic over toasted bread, stirring well.
  • Place the squid in a serving bowl and toss with the remaining lemon juice. Fold in the tomatoes, onion, parsley and hot red pepper to taste. Just before serving, fold in the toasted bread along with any oil and garlic in the pan. Season to taste with salt and serve.
