Yield Four servings

Number Of Ingredients 25

1 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup minced scallions
8 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
12 small whole squid, cleaned, tentacles finely chopped
3/4 pound cleaned squid, sacs cut into 1/4-inch-thick rounds
12 medium beets
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
Salt and pepper to taste
1 head garlic
1 medium onion, peeled and thinly sliced
1 small red onion, peeled and thinly sliced
2 shallots, peeled and halved
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
1/2 teaspoon yellow mustard seeds
1/2 teaspoon celery seeds
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1 cup freshly made dry bread crumbs
1 tablespoon minced basil leaves
1 tablespoon minced parsley leaves
1 tablespoon minced fennel leaves
1 tablespoon minced chervil leaves

Steps:

  • Combine the lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, scallions and garlic in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add the squid. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Combine 8 of the beets with 1 tablespoon olive oil in a baking dish. Roast the beets in the oven until tender, about 35 to 40 minutes. Set aside to cool. Peel. Cut into 1/3-inch cubes. Set aside. Dice the remaining 4 beets. Combine the diced beets and balsamic vinegar in a blender or food processor, and puree until smooth. Strain into a glass or ceramic bowl. Whisk in the remaining olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the roasted beets and toss. Set aside.
  • Combine all of the ingredients for the onion confit in a large saucepan. Simmer over medium heat for 1 hour. Set aside to cool.
  • Increase the oven temperature to 475 degrees. Combine the bread crumb ingredients in a large bowl. Place the whole sacs together in a large baking dish. Place the sliced squid and tentacles next to them. Pour the marinade over all the squid. Top with the bread crumb mixture. Bake until tender, about 10-12 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • Spoon equal amounts of sliced squid and tentacles in the center of four plates. Strain the beets, reserve the vinaigrette. Ring the squid with a circle of minced beets. Wreathe the beets with a circle of onion confit. Arrange 3 whole sacs around the center like the spokes of a wheel. Drizzle with the beet vinaigrette. Garnish with chervil. Serve immediately.
