When cooking squid, the golden rule is to cook it fast (like this method, shared by Irish chef Clodagh McKenna from her new book, In Minutes) or cook it slow. Otherwise, it can turn out too chewy. Paired with spicy chorizo, earthy chickpeas, peppery kale and crunchy almonds, this dish feels like an instant taste-escape to Spain.

Tip:

Spanish-style chorizo is a fully cooked seasoned smoked pork sausage. Find it near other cured sausages in well-stocked supermarkets, specialty food stores or online.

My entire family loved this! Worked beautifully with soy chorizo.

This dish seemed like it was missing something. Unfortunately, I couldn't find Spanish chorizo so I had to use Mexican chorizo. I think that was part of the problem because the sausage became more of a background flavor rather than an ingredient. My dish didn't have the sauce like the one in the photo but since there weren't any liquids in the ingredient I didn't miss anything. I'm disappointed with this dish but I'm excited to have been able to cook with squid because I thought that turned part out great. Because of this dish, I won't hesitate to buy squid in the future (I used frozen squid that I thawed).
