Marinated Squid Salad

Our CSF (that's community supported fishery) pick-up days is one of my favorite dinner days of the week. We love Real Good Fish for the quality, the freshness, and the philosophy! Today, Real Good Fish delivered to all of its members fresh market squid that was pulled up yesterday. Talk about fresh...

I wanted to make something simple that really highlighted the squid. Since we couldn't agree, I made two recipes. This was the first.

Ingredients

1/2 to 3/4 lb fresh market squid, cleaned
1 C organic heirloom cherry tomatoes
1/4 C thinly sliced organic red onion
3 T capers
3 to 4 T olive oil
1 to 2 T freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 to 2 T balsamic vinegar
freshly ground salt
freshly ground pepper
1 to 2 T fresh parsley, minced

Procedure
Place squid tubes and tentacles in a large pot. Cover them with water. Make sure they are submerged by at least 1" of water. Bring the water to a boil. As soon as the water boils, drain the squid. Once they are cool enough to handle, slice the tubes into rings. Place them in a large mixing bowl.

Add in the cherry tomatoes, sliced onions, and capers. Pour in the oil, lemon juice, and vinegar, starting with 3 T oil and 1 T each of the lemon juice and vinegar.

Fold in the parsley and season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Adjust seasoning before serving. If you prefer it more tart, you may need more balsamic vinegar and lemon juice. I did!

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy. Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found." Read her invitation here.

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce...
