Garlicky Grilled Squid with Marinated Peppers

This vibrant grilled squid with marinated peppers is a wonderful example of how simple, Mediterranean-style cooking can be both indulgent and heart-healthy. By pairing tender, charred squid with the deep, smoky sweetness of roasted red peppers, you create a dish that is bursting with authentic coastal flavour. The addition of a nutty hazelnut dressing and fresh mint provides a refreshing contrast to the warmth of the smoked Spanish paprika.

Ideal for a light summer lunch or an impressive starter for a dinner party, this dish focuses on high-quality ingredients like extra-virgin olive oil and fresh seafood. Using a griddle pan or barbecue ensures the squid develops those essential crispy edges while remaining succulent. Serve it immediately while the squid is hot and the salad is crisp for the best results.

Ingredients for Garlicky Grilled Squid with Marinated Peppers

  • 50g coarsely chopped blanched hazelnuts or almonds

  • 2 tablespoons plus 120ml extra-virgin olive oil, divided

  • Sale kosher

  • 4 large red peppers

  • 2 cucchiai di aceto di sherry o aceto di vino rosso

  • 1 cucchiaino di paprika spagnola affumicata piccante

  • 3 garlic cloves, divided

  • 675g cleaned squid, bodies and tentacles separated

  • 1/2 piccola cipolla rossa, affettata molto finemente

  • 1 cup mint leaves, torn if large

  • 1/2 limone

Preheat oven to 177°C. Toast hazelnuts on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing once, until golden brown, 7–10 minutes. Let cool, then crush nuts using the side of a chef’s knife or coarsely chop. Transfer to a small bowl. Mix in 2 tablespoons oil and season with salt. Set aside.

Prepare a grill for high heat and place a wire rack on one side, orienting it perpendicular to grill grate. Place peppers directly on grate (not on wire rack) and grill, turning occasionally, until charred all over and flesh is very soft, 8–10 minutes.

Transfer peppers to a medium bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Let sit 10–20 minutes (doing this extends the cooking and softens the skins). Remove skins from peppers and scoop out seeds; discard. Tear or slice peppers into large pieces and place in a clean medium bowl. Add vinegar, paprika, and 60ml oil and finely grate 1 garlic clove into bowl. Season with salt and toss well to coat peppers.

Return grill to high heat. Finely grate remaining 2 garlic cloves into a large bowl; stir in remaining 60ml oil. Pat squid dry, then add to oil mixture; toss well to coat. Working in batches, grill squid on wire rack on grill until marks appear on bodies and tentacles begin to crisp around the edges, 45–60 seconds per side. Transfer to a clean large bowl and season with salt.

Place onion and mint in a small bowl. Finely grate zest from lemon half over, then squeeze in juice. Season with salt and toss to combine.

Divide marinated peppers and squid among plates. Spoon hazelnuts over and top with mint salad.
