Ingredients

Barbecued calamari, lime and chilli salad

1 lime, zest, juice, plus 2 extra, halved

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

2 tablespoon white wine

1 eschalot, finely chopped

1 clove garlic, finely chopped

1 fresh bay leaf

600 gram cleaned squid tubes, scored, cut into 2cm strips

4 long red chillies

Method

1.In a small bowl, combine zest, juice, 1 tablespoon oil, wine, eschalot, garlic and bay leaf.

2.Add squid, tossing to combine. Cover; chill at least 20 minutes, to marinate.

3.Heat an oiled char-grill pan or barbecue plate on high. Cook chillies 2-3 minutes each side, or until charred all over.

4.Seal chillies in a small plastic bag; set aside 5 minutes, then peel away skins. Slice in half lengthways and scrape out seeds. Slice flesh into strips.

5.Drain squid; char-grill 2-3 minutes, turning with tongs, until curled and opaque. Grill extra limes, cut side down, 2-3 minutes, until charred on surface.

6.In a bowl, toss squid, chillies, rocket and remaining oil together; season to taste.

7.Sprinkle with cumin and serve with grilled lime halves.
