Recipe for Cuttlefish in Green Sauce: Taste of the Sea
Squid in green sauce is a delicious and light recipe, enriched with a fragrant green sauce. Tender squid are cooked in an aromatic broth and then dressed with a sauce made of olive oil, garlic, parsley, basil, and lemon juice. A crunchy touch of toasted breadcrumbs with lemon zest completes this dish with a taste of the sea.
Instructions
- In a large pot, bring water to a boil with roughly chopped celery and carrot, plenty of fresh parsley, white wine vinegar, salt, and whole peppercorns to create an aromatic broth.
- Immerse the frozen cuttlefish in the boiling broth and let them cook for about 10 minutes or until they become tender.
- Once cooked, drain them and cut them into thin strips to enhance their flavor and texture.
- For the green sauce: heat the olive oil in a pan with a crushed garlic clove to infuse it with its aroma without overpowering the other ingredients.
- Add the fresh chopped parsley and basil along with the lemon juice to the light sauté for a citrusy touch that balances the dish. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Quickly mix the sauce ingredients, removing from heat before the herbs lose their vibrant color, and combine them with the previously cut cuttlefish.
Notes
To add a crispy touch to the cuttlefish in green sauce recipe, add some toasted breadcrumbs with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a final sprinkle of grated organic lemon zest to intensify the citrusy aroma of the dish.
