I often remember the moment when for the first time in my life (being already quite a young age) I tried a cocktail of sea creatures (mussels, squid, shrimp and octopus). It took me so long to persuade me to try them. And how stubbornly I refused. But now I have a hard time passing them by when visiting supermarkets - the prices are steep. Therefore, I decided to start preparing such delicacies myself. Today, as a first experiment, I will prepare marinated squid. Having studied the sea of ​​recipes that are replete with the Internet, I came up with some of my own recipes. So let's see what comes of this. I think marinated squid will be suitable as an appetizer for special occasions for both drinkers and those who lead a “dry” lifestyle (that’s me).

Let's prepare the following set of ingredients:

Marinated squid on site

1 lemon;
vegetable oil – 50 ml;
squid carcasses – 3 pcs.;
bay leaf – 5-6 small leaves;
salt - dessert spoon;
sugar - teaspoon;
allspice and black pepper – 6-7 peas each;
cloves – 3 pcs.;
paprika - a quarter of a teaspoon;
water – about 400 ml;
garlic – 2 cloves;
apple cider vinegar - a tablespoon.

It will take you at least 3 hours to prepare marinated squid according to the photo recipe.

First, let's prepare the squid for marinating.

Pour boiling water over them (directly unwashed and not defrosted).

We count 20-25 seconds, and, taking it out of the water, rinse thoroughly under running cold water. Thanks to boiling water, the squid skin immediately curls up and is much easier to remove from the carcass. Don’t forget to take out the insides (if any) and also rinse everything inside the “stocking” well. Boil water in a small saucepan and throw in half of the prepared spices (peppercorns and bay leaves), boil for a couple of minutes and add clean squid.

After boiling, cook for no more than one minute, then close the pan with a lid and leave for five minutes alone. Now you can safely eat the squid meat - it is ready. We cut the squid into rings and strips (as is more convenient) with a width of at least 3 mm, and the garlic into very thin slices.

Place the chopped products in a glass or enamel bowl (or in a jar). Squeeze the juice from half a lemon; the other half will be useful later.

Let's prepare the marinade for the squid.

In principle, you can use the broth left after boiling squid. But it seemed unsightly to me - somehow cloudy and ugly - so I still decided to use clean water. So, pour water into a ladle, add salt and sugar, oil with lemon juice and the rest of the spices (paprika, peppers, cloves and bay).

Boil all this for about two minutes, pour in vinegar and immediately pour the resulting squid solution in a bowl, mix well and leave to cool and soak for at least two and a half hours.

Ready. You can eat. After cooling, I put the bowl in the refrigerator overnight. In the morning, I put a quarter of a lemon slice at the bottom of a clean jar, then a decent layer of squid, again a piece of lemon and poured the strained marinade over it.

P.S. Now, having received the end result, which I am not entirely happy with (it turned out too spicy), I would...
…didn’t add any cloves or garlic at all;
...I would use one of vinegar and lemon juice - both ingredients together give excessive pungency to tender squid;
...I would replace apple cider vinegar (it gives some kind of unpleasant aftertaste) with regular table vinegar.

It’s not for nothing that they say that you learn from mistakes. After all, whoever does not make mistakes, in general, does not live. We will try, and we will succeed, if not today, then tomorrow! By the way, the result of such a not entirely successful experiment can be processed into a different dish. For example, these pickled spicy squids can easily be “introduced” into

Marinated squid is a very beautiful, tasty and tender appetizer for the holiday table. Squids according to this recipe are soft, spicy and very aromatic. Marinated squids are served as a cold appetizer. It is customary to serve cold dry wine with squid. Without a doubt, this appetizer is worthy of a holiday table.

In the recipe I will share with you the secret of properly preparing squid, but for now I will give advice on how to choose squid in the store. It is best to take squids that have already been peeled; they are white; unpeeled ones are pinkish-purple. The main thing is that they do not have a yellowish tint; such squids are far from being fresh. It doesn’t matter if the squids are frozen, just defrost them at room temperature before preparing the dish.

So, before marinating squid, be sure to prepare all the necessary ingredients.

Let's start preparing the dish by preparing the marinade. Peel the garlic and cut into small cubes.

Place the garlic in a bowl.

Remove the zest from one lemon.

Add the zest to the marinade.

Cut the chili pepper into rings. If you don't like it spicy, remove all the seeds from the pepper or reduce the amount of chili pepper.

Add chili pepper to the rest of the ingredients.

Chop the parsley very finely.

Add it to the bowl.

Squeeze all the juice out of the lemon.

Add lemon juice to the marinade.

We also add sweet chili sauce.

Add olive oil.

Mix all ingredients well, salt the marinade to taste. The marinade is ready.

Now let's prepare the squid. To do this, we will remove the chitinous plate, fins and tentacles from inside the carcass.

Cut the squid carcasses into rings.

I also cut both the fins and tentacles.

Heat 1 tbsp in a frying pan. olive oil and fry the squid for literally 2-3 minutes.

SECRET: it’s very easy to overcook or overcook squid, to prevent this from happening, just cook them for a very short amount of time - 3-5 minutes maximum.

Add the marinade to the fried squid, mix all the ingredients together and let the squid marinate for at least 1 hour. It’s better to cook the squid the night before and refrigerate it overnight; the next day the marinated squid will be even tastier.

Place the squid in a dish along with the sauce. You can serve slices of fresh bread so your guests can dip the marinade, which they'll definitely want to do!

White wine with seafood is just right; it’s important not to forget to put a bottle of dry white wine in the refrigerator along with the squid for cooling.
