This famous Provencal stew was traditionally a catchall for fishermen's catch of the day. Our version uses ocean-friendly calamari, tilapia and scallops.
Fava is the Greek word for bean puree, almost exclusively made with yellow split peas—here it's served with grilled squid, but the simplest and most traditional is raw onion, olive oil and lemon juice; in Santorini it is topped with stewed capers and onions, a combination referred to as “married” fava in Greek. For a vegetarian topping, try a combination of arugula and caramelized onions.
This classic Korean side dish (or appetizer) stars squid mixed with crunchy grated carrots and pine nuts, then moistened with a spicy soy dressing. One key is to grill the squid very quickly over blazing high heat to create some charring on the surface before the interior is overcooked.
Fried calamari is loaded with calories and fat, masking the subtle flavor of squid. Try our healthy squid recipes that make the most of its flavor without the extra calories. Grilling squid infuses it with a smoky flavor or try it in a seafood stew recipe with other fish and shellfish. Our healthy squid recipes are full of flavor without touching the deep-fryer.
