Among my favorite squid dishes. Although sautéing, stir-frying, and deep-frying are good, fast techniques for squid, they tend to be messy because of squid’s marked tendency to spatter when cooked in oil.

See page 98 if you buy squid that hasn’t been cleaned. Crusty bread is a must; keep the vegetable simple.
