Calamari, Polpi, Seppie...
Tuesday August 12, 2008
Or, Squid, Octopus, and Cuttlefish, three mollusks (yes, they are distantly related to snails) that look much more difficult to prepare than they are, and are very tasty too. Three simple recipes:
Anelli Fritti, or Fried Rings -- squid bodies cut crosswise into rings and fried. The one problem with this dish is that it runs out before people have had their fill.
Polpo Affogato, or Drowned Octopus -- a mixed fish antipasto without boiled octopus wouldn't seem quite right.
Calamari Ripieni, or Stuffed Cuttlefish -- Cuttlefish are ideally suited for stuffing, and this recipe is both tasty and easy. Romantic, too.
Caught your own fish? How to clean them, and harvest their ink.
