Marinated Squid Salad

Our CSF (that's community supported fishery) pick-up days is one of my favorite dinner days of the week. We love Real Good Fish for the quality, the freshness, and the philosophy! Today, Real Good Fish delivered to all of its members fresh market squid that was pulled up yesterday. Talk about fresh...

I wanted to make something simple that really highlighted the squid. Since we couldn't agree, I made two recipes. This was the first.

Ingredients

1/2 to 3/4 lb fresh market squid, cleaned
1 C organic heirloom cherry tomatoes
1/4 C thinly sliced organic red onion
3 T capers
3 to 4 T olive oil
1 to 2 T freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 to 2 T balsamic vinegar
freshly ground salt
freshly ground pepper
1 to 2 T fresh parsley, minced

Procedure
Place squid tubes and tentacles in a large pot. Cover them with water. Make sure they are submerged by at least 1" of water. Bring the water to a boil. As soon as the water boils, drain the squid. Once they are cool enough to handle, slice the tubes into rings. Place them in a large mixing bowl.

Add in the cherry tomatoes, sliced onions, and capers. Pour in the oil, lemon juice, and vinegar, starting with 3 T oil and 1 T each of the lemon juice and vinegar.

Fold in the parsley and season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Adjust seasoning before serving. If you prefer it more tart, you may need more balsamic vinegar and lemon juice. I did!

Caulibits Crni Rižoto (Croatian Black "Risotto") #Whole30

Last week, I participated in the Wine Pairing Weekend event 'New Year, New Wine." I paired Crni Rižoto with Dingac Vinarija’s Pelješac...and you can read my post: here . I was pouring a Croatian wine and decided to make a traditional Croatian dish. Every seafood restaurant in Croatia has a Crni Rižoto (black risotto) on its menu. Crni Rižoto is risotto dyed black with squid ink; I used cuttlefish ink for the same effect. However, since arborio rice is not Whole30 compliant, I made a version for myself that used caulibits instead of rice. Ingredients 1 C fish stock (or a combination of fish stock and vegetable stock) 1 T olive oil 1 medium shallots, peeled and minced 1 cloves garlic, crushed and minced 1/4 lb shrimp 1/4 lb squid tubes, cleaned and sliced into rings 1/4 lb scallops 1/4 lb clams, scrubbed 1/4 lb mussels, scrubbed 4 C caulibits, or chopped cauliflower 1 T fresh parsley, minced juice and zest from 1 organic lemon 1 t cuttlefish ink

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy. Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found." Read her invitation here. And there won't be a Twitter chat for this event, so you will have to dive into the articles themselves to read about our pairings and findings. Here's the line-up...
