INSTRUCTIONS
Bring all court bouillon ingredients to a boil in a medium sauce pan, lower
to a simmer, and cook 15 to 20 minutes. Place squid in medium saucepan.
Strain hot court bouillon over the squid. Turn heat on low so that liquid
steams but does not simmer, for 1 minute. Taste a squid ring: it should be
just opaque and tender. If still chewy and translucent, cook for another 30
seconds to 1 minute but no longer. Drain squid and place in large bowl.
Place lime juice in small bowl and drizzle in olive oil while whisking so
as to form an emulsion. Pour vinaigrette over squid and stir to combine.
Add all remaining ingredients except cilantro and lettuce, and stir well.
Can be served immediately or held up to one day in refrigerator. Stir in
cilantro immediately before serving. Serve on leaves of Romaine lettuce
arranged on chilled plates. This recipe yields 4 appetizer servings.
Comments: To clean squid, pull gently on the tentacles to separate them
from the hood; most of the intestines will pull out as well. Cut off the
tentacles below the eyes and reserve. Pull out long plastic like "quill"
and discard it and the intestines. Rinse out the hoods and, if desired,
pull off the purple skin with your fingers or a paper towel. Slice body
into 1/4-inch rings. Set rings aside with the tentacles until needed.
