Calamari with Lemon & Garlic


Nothing goes with seafood better than meditteranean flavours. You can bake, grill, or pan-fry, and it's surprisingly low-fat.

1. marinate calamari rings [or 2 sliced squid]  in 1/4 cup lemon juice, 1/4 cup olive oil, salt, pepper, 4 cloves minced garlic, fresh parsley and oregano.
For a more italian flavour, add a bit of pesto or balsamic vinegar. 
For a more middle-eastern flavour, add some cumin.


2. let sit in marinade for an hour or more. 
3. grill, fry, or bake, coating with leftover marinade. you can also serve with red peppers, onions, and zucchini for a colourful and nutritious plate. the vegetable flavours will add a nice touch. 

GRILL: until browned and tender, about 5 mins each side.
FRY: constantly tossing, for about 10 mins on medium heat.
BAKE: for 10 mins on each side at 300 F.
