Cooking a dish step by step with photos

Step 1

To prepare this simple and tasty cold appetizer, take squid (I use fresh frozen), water, lemon juice, refined vegetable (in my case, sunflower) oil, salt, sugar, bay leaf and allspice.

Step 2

The most important rule, following which you will always get soft and tender squids, is not to overcook them. If this happens and you keep them in boiling water, you will have to soften these cephalopods by cooking longer - at least 35-40 minutes after boiling. I always do this: let the squid completely thaw, rinse it under cold running water, remove the insides and the transparent spine. Then I pour cold water into the pan and place it on the stove over medium heat. The water should boil well and that’s when I add the squid. They instantly thicken, change color, and almost all of the skin comes off on its own. The squid will be ready as soon as the water boils for the second time - this will happen after about 2.5-3 minutes.

Step 3

We simply wash the finished squid under cold running water and remove the remaining skin with our fingers (there is very little of it). Do not forget to remove the entrails, if there are still some left inside the carcasses.

Step 4

Now cut the squid into rings or random pieces, whichever you like best. Just don’t make it too small, as then it will be inconvenient to pick up the marinated squid with a fork or chopsticks.

Step 5

All that remains is to prepare the marinade for the squid. To do this, pour 500 milliliters of water into a small saucepan, add lemon juice, salt, sugar, a couple of bay leaves and a few peas of allspice. In general, you have the right to choose seasonings and spices according to your taste, but I have the simplest option. Bring the marinade to a boil so that the sugar and salt dissolve, remove the pan from the stove.

Step 6

Then transfer the squid pieces into the hot marinade. Add odorless vegetable oil, mix everything and let cool completely.

Step 7

After this, you can transfer the marinated squid along with the marinade to a container more suitable for storage. After 5-6 hours in the refrigerator, delicious marinated squid will be ready. It’s even better to leave them in the cold for a day so that they are thoroughly saturated with the taste and aroma of the marinade.

Serve marinated squid as a cold appetizer, garnished with slices of fresh lemon. It turns out to be an amazing dish, believe me! Better yet, check it yourself.

If you don’t have freshly squeezed lemon juice, you can use 9% table vinegar. You can take olive oil in a similar volume.

Useful tips and tricks

To make a high-quality pickled product, you must initially select a fresh product.

To do this, it is recommended to take into account the following requirements:

• The color of the skin will be affected by the age and habitat of the squid, so it will almost never be monochromatic. The color can be brown and also vary from light lilac to gray-pink.

• Under the skin, the shade of the meat must be light cream. After several defrosts, the color becomes purple or yellow. Similar shades may indicate that the seafood was colored with dyes that were present in the packaging material. If the squid has been treated with chemicals, its color will be milky white.
• Fresh and high-quality meat must be elastic and dense in consistency.
• The packaging containing seafood must be free of large accumulations of snow and ice.

The recipe for marinated squid is quite simple and includes a minimal set of ingredients. When making treats at home, you can add a variety of spices with onions, carrots and soy sauce to make the taste more pleasant and rich.

Features and composition

Squid is a cephalopod that lives in both subtropical and temperate waters. It has a small elongated body with ten thin tentacles, the color of which can vary from white to dark purple, depending on the species. Squid contains many useful substances.

1. Squid is a rich source of protein (at least 36 g per 100 g of product) with a low content of fat and carbohydrates. Its calorie content is only 120 kcal; it is believed that squid meat is a dietary product.
2. It contains vitamins C, E, B9 and B1.
3. Marine meat contains useful micro- and macroelements. For example, iodine, zinc, manganese, iron, potassium, phosphorus and others.
4. Seafood contains Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids essential for humans, which are beneficial for skin, hair and nails.

At the same time, marinated squid undergoes minimal heat treatment: it is a low-fat and non-fried dish. This method of preparation allows you to preserve most of all its useful components in the product.
