GARLICKY GRILLED SQUID WITH MARINATED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Toast hazelnuts on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing once, until golden brown, 7-10 minutes. Let cool, then crush nuts using the side of a chef's knife or coarsely chop. Transfer to a small bowl. Mix in 2 Tbsp. oil and season with salt. Set aside.
• Prepare a grill for high heat and place a wire rack on one side, orienting it perpendicular to grill grate. Place bell peppers directly on grate (not on wire rack) and grill, turning occasionally, until charred all over and flesh is very soft, 8-10 minutes.
• Transfer bell peppers to a medium bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Let sit 10-20 minutes (doing this extends the cooking and softens the skins). Remove skins from peppers and scoop out seeds; discard. Tear or slice peppers into large pieces and place in a clean medium bowl. Add vinegar, paprika, and 1/4 cup oil and finely grate 1 garlic clove into bowl. Season with salt and toss well to coat peppers.
• Return grill to high heat. Finely grate remaining 2 garlic cloves into a large bowl; stir in remaining 1/4 cup oil. Pat squid dry, then add to oil mixture; toss well to coat. Working in batches, grill squid on wire rack on grill until marks appear on bodies and tentacles begin to crisp around the edges, 45-60 seconds per side. Transfer to a clean large bowl and season with salt.
• Place onion and mint in a small bowl. Finely grate zest from lemon half over, then squeeze in juice. Season with salt and toss to combine.
• Divide marinated peppers and squid among plates. Spoon hazelnuts over and top with mint salad.

QUINOA WITH CHICKPEAS AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• Place the quinoa in a fine mesh strainer, and rinse under cold, running water until the water no longer foams. Bring the quinoa, salt, and water to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the quinoa is tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Once done, stir in the garbanzo beans, tomatoes, garlic, lime juice, and olive oil. Season with cumin, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley to serve.

SQUID & PINTO BEAN STEW WITH GARLIC TOASTS

Steps:

• Drain the pinto beans, rinse in water and put in a large saucepan. Add the halved onion, whole carrot and halved celery sticks, then cover with water and add the bay leaf. Bring to the boil, skim off any scum, turn down the heat and simmer until totally tender, for around 1 hr. When done, drain, discarding the bay leaf and cooked veg. Put the beans to one side until ready to use.
• Meanwhile, heat a flameproof casserole dish with 2 tbsp oil. Toss in the remaining onion, carrot, celery and the chopped garlic. Fry gently for 15 mins until the vegetables are tender. Stir through the squid, tomato purée and thyme sprig. Cook for a min or two, then pour over the passata and chicken stock. Bring to the boil, turn down the heat, pop on the lid and simmer for 45 mins, stirring occasionally. Take off the lid and cook down for 30 mins.
• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Stir the beans into the squid and cook until the squid is totally tender and the sauce has thickened. Meanwhile, put the bread on a baking sheet. Mix the remaining oil with paprika and seasoning, then drizzle over the bread and put it in the oven, cooking for a few mins each side until golden and crisp. Rub the oil side with the whole garlic clove. Scatter parsley over the stew and serve with the garlic toasts and some wilted greens, if you like.

SQUID WITH TOMATO AND GREEN PEAS

• Put the olive oil and onion into a flameproof casserole.
• Saute over a medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 10 Minutes until it begins to soften and turn golden.
• Add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes, then add the tomatoes and half of the chopped parsley.
• Cook at a gentle simmer for 10-15 minutes until the tomatoes begin to thicken.
• Slice the cleaned squid into 1.
• 5 cm rings.
• Divide the tentacle clusters in half.
• Add to the casserole.

• Stir well, cover and simmer gently for 20-30 minutes until the squid is tender.
• Stir in the peas, season again and cook for a few more minutes until they are done.
• Stir in the remaining chopped parsley and serve with plenty of crusty bread to mop up the sauce.

SQUID WITH TOMATO AND PICKLED MUSTARD GREENS

Steps:

• Heat a wok over high heat until metal has a matte appearance and a drop or two of water flicked onto surface evaporates on contact. Add the oil and heat until smoking; it should register 350 degrees on a deep-frying thermometer. Add half of the squid and cook, stirring constantly, for 30 seconds. With a slotted spoon, transfer squid to a plate. Let oil return to temperature, then cook remaining squid the same way and add to plate.
• Pour off all but 2 tablespoons oil from the wok. Return wok to high heat. When oil shimmers, add garlic and jalapeños and cook, stirring constantly, for 5 seconds. Add tomatoes, stock (or 1/4 cup water), wine and fish sauce and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes, until tomatoes have begun to break down and sauce has started to thicken.
• Stir in mustard greens and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes longer. Stir in squid and scallions and cook for 2 minutes more, until scallions are just softened. Taste and adjust seasoning with fish sauce. Transfer to a plate and serve immediately.

PASTA WITH PEA GREENS AND SQUID

Steps:

• Boil the pasta in a large pot of salted water until tender and drain well.

• Toss the squid mixture with the pasta.
• Add the lemon and lime rinds and toss well.
