Fresh Baby Squid: Tender And Versatile

Small, plump and faintly pink, these little cephalopods cook in minutes and stay tender in a way larger ones rarely do. Cleaned and ready to go, they take on marinades and sauces beautifully.

Why You'll Love Them

• Quick cooking - flash-fry, grill or poach in under three minutes.
• Naturally tender - small bodies stay soft rather than turning rubbery.
• Absorbent - soak up garlic, chilli, citrus and herbs.

Kitchen Notes

• Dry them well before grilling so they char instead of steaming.
• Cook hot and fast, or low and slow; the middle ground is what toughens them.
• Score the bodies lightly to keep them from curling.
