Cooking With Gawaine Blake

Here’s a great way to cook your squid – its something a little different I have done lately and it tastes fantastic!

You will need:

• One large squid hood around 40cm
• 12 large pealed Prawns
• 1 clove of crushed garlic
• 1 finely chopped chili
• Small amount of chopped basil
• Shredded Parmesan cheese
• A squeeze of lime juice
• Cherry tomatoes
• Extra Virgin olive oil

1. Cut your squid hood down the centre then lightly score the hood diagonally in a crisscross pattern making sure you don’t go through (a butter knife will do)

2. Cut your squid into 15x50mm strips.

3. Place squid into a bowl adding the prawns and mix in the garlic, basil, chilli, a good squeeze of lime juice and a good dash of olive oil.Mix this though and let it stand in the fridge for 30mins.

4. Now heat a pan on medium flame, add the squid mix and once it loses its transparency add a good hand full of cherry tomatoes, a small hand of shredded Parmesan cheese.

5. Heat this through till melted and serve with a fresh salad.

I hope you give it a go and enjoy it as much as my family did.

Cheers,
Gawaine
