Salt and Pepper Squid or Calamari With Cucumber Salad
RECIPE BY: Chef floWer
This dish could also be used with calamari. I have been looking for a squid/calamari dish that does not have Szechuan pepper as I am unable to find it. This recipe comes from The Australian Womans Weekly Simply Seafood book.
Posted on: Feb 12, 2007
Ingredients
Squid
- 500 g squid, cleaned hoods only
- 1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning
- 1 tablespoon peanut oil
Salad
- 1 lebanese cucumbers, sliced thinly (about 130 grams)
- 2 green onion, sliced thinly (also known as spring onions)
- 250 g cherry tomato, halved
- 1/3 cup roasted peanuts, chopped coarsely
- 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, loosely packed
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon peanut oil
Directions
1
Cut squid hoods along one side and open out. Using a small sharp knife, score inside of hoods in a diagonal pattern, without cutting all the way through. This will allow the squid to curl during cooking. Cut each squid hood into eight pieces.2
Sprinkle squid with combined pepper, salt and lemon pepper seasoning.3
Heat oil in wok or large frying pan, stir-fry squid in batches until curled and just cooked through. Serve squid with cucumber salad.4
Cucumber Salad: Combine cucumber, onion, tomato, nuts and mint in medium bowl. Add combined vinegar and oil, toss to combine.

Great dish. We added some finely sliced bird's eye chillies (we like them) to the oil before cooking the squid. Yummo. I put the seasonings (including some of cornflour) and the squid in a plastic bag, and shook the dickens of out of it all. It's a fast and easy way to add the coating. Also, didn't have peanuts for the salad, but that didn't matter. Made and reviewed for Zaar World Tour.

This was a very fresh and light meal. I coated my calamari with flour, salt and pepper in a ziplock bag. I didn't use the peanuts due to nut allergy in the family. I cooked my calamari in the wok with sunflower oil infused with a clove of garlic. Another great recipe from Chef floWer.

Did not make the salad. I did have Szechuan pepper so I used it and I too, like Peggy, shook the calamri, salt and peppers in a plastic bag. This was delicious! I had never cooked calamari before but I sure will again. So simple and good. Thank you.
