Instructions
Step 1
Prepare the squid tentacles for consumption. To do this, first defrost them. It is best to defrost food by leaving it at room temperature for a while or on the top shelf of the refrigerator. As a last resort, use a microwave or a container of warm water..
Step 2
Clean the tentacles. To do this, boil water. Pour boiling water over the tentacles, stirring continuously for 30 seconds. This will cause the water to become cloudy and pinkish in color. Drain and wash the tentacles well under running water, while removing the film covering them. To better separate the film from the squid, rub it in your palms.
Step 3
Peeled tentacles can be cooked in a variety of ways. They can be boiled for 5-10 minutes in salted water, fried in batter, fried in a pan, or pickled.
Step 4
Use prepared squid tentacles as one of the ingredients in salads and appetizers, hot dishes, various seafood soups, as well as add them to pasta and paella. There is also a recipe for making tentacle cutlets.
Step 5
Try a simple squid tentacle salad. To do this, boil the peeled tentacles. If the squid tentacles are large enough, cut them into suitable sized pieces.
Step 6
Place the lettuce leaves on a large, flat plate. Carefully place the previously prepared squid tentacles on them.
Step 7
Thaw the mussels. Dry them well and place them on the squid tentacles.
Step 8
Cut the crab meat into medium-sized pieces and place on top of the mussels.
Step 9
Prepare cherry tomatoes. To do this, wash them thoroughly, dry them with a towel, and place them on top of the salad.
Step 10
Pour the prepared salad with olive oil, lightly drizzle with lemon juice. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. Bon Appetit!
