INGREDIENTS

• 1 ½ lbs squid, tubes and tentacles

• ¼ cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil

• 3 cloves garlic, crushed

• 1 large sprig of rosemary

• Zest from 1 orange

• 1 fennel bulb, fronds and core removed and thinly sliced crosswise

PREPARATION

1. In a large bowl, combine whole tubes, tentacles, extra virgin olive oil, crushed garlic, rosemary sprig and orange zest. Let this marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

3. Add sliced fennel and red onion, lemon juice & zest, olives and artichoke hearts to the grilled calamari. Taste. Add red pepper, salt and cracked pepper to taste. You can also add more lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil to adjust flavor.

4. Enjoy!
