We all love squids(oh what do we not)but im not very apt with their cooking time & am low on confidence in this but yet i havent had major 'under-cooked' or over -cooked ' probs yrt coz over-cooking can render them rubbery enough not to bite into.
And i love the name squiddy too,it sounds so so cute-calamari is more refined yeah!

1. MARINATE A POUND OF CALAMARI/SQUIDS IN THE FOLLOWING
(no quantity here coz depends on personal taste)
Whole pepper(white& black)roughly crushed
Salt to taste
Lime juice(i used i one whole lime)
Splosh of red wine(a tbh)
Whole crushed garlic
A good sprinkle of thyme(would have love these with rosemary i think but i had none,fresh or dry)
2. HEAT A BIGGISH BLLOB OF BUTTER WITH OLIVE OIL IN A PAN & PLACE THE SQUIDS.(without any marinade)
Olive oil prevents the butter from being burnt but i use pomace olive oil,& later as i finish all the high heat cooking or last add aome extra-virgin olive oil.
3. FRY WELL(i added some weight here not to curl 'em) ON BOTH SIDES TILL DONE.(took me around 20 mins for extra browned & 10-14MINS ,BUT PLEASE WATCH OUT for well done)Add marinade.i added a little wine & butter here for a thickish sauce(and ofcourse the crushed garlic from the marinade along with the marinade)and later a blob of cream.
4. Goes well with this creamy baked potato here
these are the well browned one's,some of us wanted just done & some very very very well done.
the red peppers blend in perfectly with the thick barely there sauce.
