Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds squid, cleaned

15 garlic cloves, peeled

1/2 cup olive oil

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

2 large tomatoes, peeled, seeded and diced

1 bunch cilantro, chopped

Directions

  1. Cut the squid into 1/4-inch rings. Wash, dry and place in a mixing bowl.
  2. Puree the garlic with 1/4 cup of the olive oil in a blender until smooth. Pour over the squid. Add the salt and pepper, tossing to combine.
  3. Heat a dry medium skillet over high heat. Then add a generous tablespoon of the remaining olive oil and heat until almost smoking. Pour in one-third of the marinated squid and saute about 30 seconds. Stir in one-third each of the tomatoes and cilantro and cook about 2 minutes longer, just until the tomatoes dissolve and the garlic colors slightly. Transfer to a platter, wipe out the skillet and repeat two times. Serve hot over rice or Spinach Pilaf.

This was amazing! I used a bit too much garlic as each of my clove was perhaps the size of two regular sized ones. Afterwards my mouth was stinging from all that garlic but it was, oh, so worth it! I also cut up my squid into larger sized pieces so it took longer to cook. I was careful not to overcook it to the point of toughness though. The taste was a cross between what you'd get at high-end Italian and Greek restaurants. Superb!
