Grilled squid or squid with white rice

How to make grilled squid with white rice .

This unbridled rhythm that characterizes today’s society means that good eating habits are being lost.

I think that fast cooking should not be associated with cheap, greasy and unhealthy. With this recipe I try to show that we can eat very healthy and tasty without spending hours and hours in the kitchen.

In 25 minutes we can have prepared a tasty rice and grilled baby squid , almost without getting our hands dirty.

The most important thing is that they facilitate the task. When you go to the fishmonger ask your fishmonger to clean your squid well. This implies that they must take out the feather or thorn and the ink inside them and leave the bag.

In addition, you must ask to remove the skin so that the body of the baby squid is white. In this way, you will keep the four edible parts: the bag, the tentacles and the two fins of the baby squid itself. We will make these parts on the grill.

As for the rice, I advise you to see one of my “yummy tricks” that you can see in the video of the recipe, no more saying that ” the rice goes wrong “.

You will see how easy it is to prepare a loose white rice and at its point. Especially if you use a trusted rice, we have cooked round SOS rice that never fails us. I recommend that before you start to brown the garlic and prepare the baby squid, put the rice to cook.

In this way the rice will be ready for when you remove the squid from the griddle. Plate and eat hot so that the flavors do not fade when the baby squid cools.

What is very easy? We put our apron on and get to work.
