How to Make Grilled Squid With Red Wine Sauce

  1. Whisk together 1/2 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro, and 1/2 cup minced garlic in a small bowl.
  2. Using kitchen shears, cut the squid bodies down one long side, open flat, and lightly score with a sharp knife.
  3. Arrange the squid in a large, shallow baking dish in a single layer.
  4. Pour the garlic mixture over the squid and marinate for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight.
  5. Prepare your grill.
  6. In a heavy, large skillet, heat 1/2 cup olive oil over medium heat.
  7. Add your desired vegetables (e.g., 1 cup chopped bell peppers, 1/2 cup sliced onions), the remaining minced garlic (1/2 cup), and the squid tentacles.
  8. Simmer until the vegetables are tender-crisp, about 15 minutes.
  9. Season the vegetables with salt and pepper to taste.
  10. Stir in 2 tablespoons of chopped cilantro.
  11. Grill the marinated squid for about 45 seconds per side, or until opaque.
  12. Divide the red wine sauce (recipe not included but can be easily found online or substituted with store-bought) among plates.
  13. Top with the grilled squid and vegetable mixture. Serve immediately.
