sumptuous summer snacks: baby squid, chorizo & feta salad ♥

without even realising, "sumptuous summer snacks" is becoming a regular post :) it's mostly because summer is around the corner, and with the humidity increasing everyday so is the need for light, fresh food.

sunday afternoon was a day of severe proprortions and all we needed a little snack as the air was cooling, so this was it:

just fry off the chorizo until cripsy, throw in your scored and bite sized pieces of baby squid for a minute or so on quite a high heat. remember the "tender-tough-tender" rule when cooking calamari/squid. a minute will allow it to stay tender and fresh, there's literally miniscule seconds between that and it becoming tough. cooking it for much longer will enable it to go past the tough stage into the tender stage again.

remove, toss through some crumbled feta, a few basil leaves and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and this is a great summer starter or a larger portion would make an amazing summer lunch or dinner with some crusty bread and a glass of white wine :)

peace & love friends
