Gnocchi recipes

Seared calf’s liver with home-made gnocchi, burnt sage butter and braised red onion

15 minutes

Warm squid and chermoula salad with crisp fennel

Serves 4

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cooking Time 5 minutes

Ingredients

24 baby squid tubes
2 T olive oil
3 T chermoula (North African chilli paste)
1 large bulb fennel, shaved
4 spring onions, roughly chopped
2 T finely chopped coriander
juice and zest of 1 lime
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method

Using a sharp knife, make a slit along the length of the squid tubes, then open them out and cut a crisscross pattern across the surface of each.
In a frying pan over a high heat, sear the squid in the oil for 2 to 3 minutes a side, or until slightly golden in colour and just cooked through.
Toss the cooked squid with the chermoula until evenly coated, then distribute between four serving bowls and top with the fennel shavings, spring onion and coriander. Add a squeeze of lime juice and scatter with lime zest, season to taste and serve.
