This summery squid is great on the BBQ – serve it with a tangy lime and chilli dressing!

Ingredients

  • 500g prepared and cleaned squid
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 red chilli, finely chopped
  • 1 garlic glove, finely chopped
  • Small bunch fresh parsley or coriander, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 pak choi, finely chopped
  • ½ cucumber, deseeded and sliced
  • 2 tbsp pomegranate seeds (optional)

The method

  1. Preheat a barbecue or a griddle pan.
  2. Cut the squid into pieces about 6cm x 6cm and score in a criss cross pattern with a sharp knife.
  3. Make up the chilli dressing: mix together 2 tbsp of the olive oil, the lime juice, chilli, garlic, herbs and a little seasoning.
  4. Brush the squid with a little olive oil and cook on the barbecue or in a griddle pan for 1-2 minutes on either side until the squid is opaque. Be careful not to overcook!
  5. Put the pak choi and cucumber on a serving platter and top with the squid, spooning the dressing over and scattering with the pomegranate seeds, if using.
