Grilled Squid with Wine Vinaigrette

Grilled Squid with Wine Vinaigrette is refreshing with a tang of lemon. This is a simple and straight forward recipe to serve as an appetizer.  To make it a meal, increase the amounts of the ingredients .  Serve over rice or with polenta.

If you don’t want to grill, you can broil the squid in your kitchen oven.  You can even sauté the squid in a small amount of butter and olive oil, about a tablespoon of each. This is a perfect appetizer for squid lovers.  I have taken it a step further and served it as an entrée over rice.

Serves 2 as an appetizer

2-3  large fresh squid bodies, cleaned, inner bone removed or thawed frozen

1. Grill over medium coals for 2 1/2 minutes on each side.  Set aside to keep warm.

 

Make the dressing:

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon each of  lemon juice, white wine, finely chopped parsley and melted butter

 

2. In a small bowl, combine the ingredients.  Drizzle over the squid. and serve the grilled squid with wine vinaigrette warm or at room temperature.
