Squid With Cream Cheese Chilli Sauce Recipe

INGREDIENTS:

For the squid:

• 700 g or 25 oz baby squids
• 1 bunch scallions (green or spring onions)
• 1 small yellow chilli pepper or ½ medium sized one
• 2 tablespoons olive oil + more for frying
• juice of 1 lemon

For the chilli dip:

• 100 g or 3.5 oz cream cheese
• 2 tablespoons Greek yoghurt
• 1 small yellow chilli pepper or ½ medium sized one
• 1 clove garlic
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• salt
• pepper

To serve:

• ciabatta bread
• 4 lemon wedges
• olive oil

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. First, make the dip: chop the chilli pepper and garlic and mix it with cream cheese, yoghurt and lemon juice. Season it with salt and pepper.
2. Chop the scallions and the chilli pepper.
3. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and ground pepper on your squids and mix it together.
4. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add chopped chilli and fry for 2 minutes. Turn the heat up.
5. Add the squids and fry for a few minutes (maximum 5), turn them over from time to time, until they firm up and the inside becomes white. It's very easy to overcook squid, so don't miss the moment.
6. Remove from the heat.
7. In a small bowl, mix the lemon juice with 2 tablespoons olive oil and drizzle over your squid. Season to taste.
8. Serve with lemon wedges, chilli dip and ciabatta bread.
9. Enjoy!
