Grilled Squid with Garlic, Parsley, and White Wine

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Squid:
   • If using whole squid, score the surface lightly with a knife in a crisscross pattern. This helps to tenderise the squid and allows the flavours to penetrate.
   • If using squid rings, ensure they are well-drained and patted dry.
2. Marinate the Squid:
   • In a large bowl, combine the chopped garlic, parsley, white wine, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
   • Add the squid to the marinade, tossing well to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour, allowing the flavours to infuse.
3. Grill the Squid:
   • Preheat your grill or barbecue to high heat.
   • Remove the squid from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off.
   • Grill the squid for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until it is just cooked through and has a slight char. Be careful not to overcook, as squid can become tough.
4. Serve:
   • Transfer the grilled squid to a serving plate.
   • Drizzle any remaining marinade over the squid.
   • Garnish with additional chopped parsley and lemon wedges.

Tips:

• Serve with crusty bread to soak up the delicious juices.
• A side salad of mixed greens pairs nicely with this dish.
