Sautéed Calamari and Chorizo MADAGASCAR MCHEF Way
Ingredients
- You can replace the squid by cuttlefish, octopus, shrimp or scallop
- 8 medium sized fresh squid, cleaned and cut into rings
- 5 gr (1 tsp) of the herbs from MADAGASCAR MCHEF
- 500 ml (2 cups) of milk
- 10 ml (2 tsp) of honey
- 1 handful of rapini
- 1 red onion, finely minced
- 20 cherry-tomatoes, halved
- 20 pitted kalamata olives
- A handful of chopped fresh parsley
- 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 15 ml (1 tbsp) grape seed oil (or sunflower or vegetable oil)
- 250 ml (1 cup) thinly sliced chorizo (Portuguese sausage or any other type of sausage of your choice)
Préparation
- In an airtight container, place the sliced squid and pour milk and honey. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to fully tenderize calamari. Drain, pat dry with a paper towel and reserve. Set aside.
- In a Wok or a medium sized pan, put the rappini in salted cold water, bring to boil and cook for a good 2 minutes. Drain and immediately plunge into a bowl of ice water. Drain again, pat dry with a paper towel and set aside.
- Coarsely chop the onion, garlic, parsley and rapini. Place them in a bowl and add the cherry-tomatoes and olives.
- In a skillet or wok over high heat, drizzle oil and sauté calamari at least 1 minute to get a nice coloration.
- Add the chorizo and sauté until a nice coloration. Add the vegetables and stir-fry for less than a minute, at the most. Sprinkle with the herbs from MADAGASCAR MCHEF and sauté once more. Enjoy this delicious meal with a nice glass of white wine!
