SQUID
(A Rhode Island staple that is much easier to cook than people think)
Sauté
Place 2 tablespoons of olive oil into a medium saucepan over medium heat
Salt and pepper the squid
When oil has heated, place squid tubes and tentacles into the pan
Saute tubes approximately 2 minutes per side - toss tentacles around in pan for same cooking duration.
Add a splash of white wine and lemon juice, saute for another minute or two and serve.
Grill
Set gas grill to medium heat - for charcoal grill, create an area with no coals to shift squid to if grill gets to hot
Coat squid in olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper and lemon zest (optional)
Place squid on grill, cook squid tubes for approximately 2 minutes per side, cook tentacles on grill (moving to cook all sides) for same amount of time
Squeeze lemon and serve immediately
