Ingredients
For calamari
- 1 lb fresh squid tubes tentacles too if they're available, cleaned - see link below
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 lemon zested and juiced
- fresh ground black pepper
- ¼ cup olive oil
For salad
- 1 Jalapeno pepper stemmed and seeded, minced
- ½ cup cilantro chopped
- ¼ cup red onion minced
- ½ red bell pepper diced
- 1 grapefruit supremed* and diced
- 1 avocado diced - Dice avocado at the last minute so it doesn't oxidize
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 loaf rustic italian or french bread or other varieties
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 whole clove garlic skin removed
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine garlic, lemon zest and juice, black pepper and olive oil. Whisk to combine. Add squid and toss to combine. Set in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes to marinate.
- In a medium bowl, combine jalapeño, cilantro, red onion, bell pepper, grapefruit, avocado, lime juice and olive oil. Set aside.
- Cut bread crosswise into 1" wide slices. Brush both sides of bread lightly with olive oil. Set aside.
- Heat grill to a medium heat - about 375 degrees. Grill bread for 1-2 minutes on each side, until toasted and lightly browned. Transfer to a cutting board.
- Gently rub toasts on one side with garlic. Discard any remaining garlic.
- Place whole squid tubes and tentacles (if you have them) on the grill for about 1-2 minutes per side, turning them once. (Squid will immediately shrink up.) Transfer squid to a cutting board.
- Slice the squid tubes crosswise into 1/4" rings.
- Add squid to the salad and toss to combine.
- Arrange bread on a platter and top each slice with a large spoonful of the calamari mixture. Serve immediately.
