Remember that the carcass must not only be washed well. First, thoroughly wash the inside, gutting the squid. Secondly, remove the films covering its surface. Thirdly, cook it properly. But first things first. First, chop the onion in the format you like. Then cut the squid traditionally into rings. Let's marinate them in spices and oil. Place the frying pan on the fire and, pouring oil into it, heat it as much as possible. First, fry the halves of cloves of garlic crushed with a knife. Dip the rings in breading and place them in boiling oil, removing the garlic from it. The onion is fried in the same oil after you remove the fried squid rings. Then we add the squid here and fill it with mayonnaise mixed with spices. Let it simmer for literally 2-3 minutes. A chic New Year's snack is ready!

Squid in batter

A very welcome appetizer on the New Year's table! Tasty and, most importantly, very satisfying. Moreover, it tastes equally good both hot and cold. And this is so profitable! Remember that the quantity of all ingredients, as well as their variety, can be varied.

Spicy recipe for battered squid

I described the processing process in the previous recipe. In short, let's start with the treatment of the main characters. Then you can boil them right away, or you can not cook them at all. I’ll tell you how to quickly and deliciously cook squid in batter. So, first, sprinkle the squid rings with spices and do not add salt! Let's prepare the batter. Pour a mixture of water and milk into the beaten egg (you can only use milk), add salt and also add spices to taste. Do not add the sifted flour immediately so that the batter reaches the desired consistency. The oil should be very hot - either in a frying pan or in a saucepan. Place all the rings in the batter and, removing them with a fork, place them one by one in the boiling oil. All you have to do is let them brown on both sides and you're done. The squid turns out so tender! Especially if you don’t serve it right away. I like to place this beauty on a napkin to get rid of any excess oil.

Stuffed Lenten Squids

Yes, lenten dishes on the New Year's table are not uncommon. After all, many people prefer to fast, but also not to miss their favorite holidays. Therefore, squid stuffed with something lean will be a huge competitor to savory dishes!

Stuffed squid

Squid – 2-3 carcasses
Rice – 1.5 cups
Onion – 100 g
Carrot
Tomato
bell pepper
Corn (frozen) – 50 g
Green beans (frozen) – 50 g
Salt - to taste
Spices - to taste
Oil – for frying

Easy preparation of stuffed squid with vegetables

The recipe is simple because boiled squid carcasses (preferably cleaned in a store) just need to be stuffed. Therefore, let's first boil the squid for 5 minutes and remove the films from them when they have cooled. The rest is also simple. I fried separately chopped vegetables (except tomatoes) in oil, and then, taking them out, simmered the rice. Then, having connected it, she poured it with water so that it covered her finger. As soon as it boils, cover with a lid and evaporate the moisture. About 10 minutes before turning off, send the frozen ingredients, without defrosting, and the tomato pieces. Salt and season with spices to taste. As soon as the mass has cooled, you can stuff squid carcasses with it. All is ready. Can be cut into pieces. But, if you would like to serve hot, reheat in the oven in some hot or mild sauce before serving.

Sea cocktail dishes: always delicious

Once upon a time, seafood was available only to those living directly on the coast; seafood was not represented in the national cuisines of landlocked countries.
Today, a package of frozen seafood can be bought anywhere in the world, and seafood cocktail dishes are no longer exotic. Four reasons to buy a sea cocktail

You probably won’t find a supermarket that doesn’t sell seafood, including seafood cocktail – a mixture of pre-boiled and frozen shrimp, mussels, octopus and squid. What is the secret of the popularity of this product?

Availability. Unlike many seafood, such as crustaceans, a seafood cocktail is inexpensive; a packet or two of the mixture can be purchased by families of any income.
Fast preparation. Before freezing, seafood is first lightly boiled, which means that the seafood cocktail can be eaten immediately after defrosting, flavored with some spicy sauce to taste. Frozen seafood cocktail dishes are prepared in a matter of minutes.
Delicious taste. It’s not for nothing that seafood is considered a gourmet food: shrimp, squid, mussels and octopus have a delicate, unique taste and pleasant texture. Sea cocktail is ideal for preparing a holiday meal: dishes with it always turn out exquisite, memorable, and tasty.
Benefit for health. Seafood is low in calories, but it also contains a large amount of valuable protein, as well as various microelements, such as iodine. It is recommended to include seafood in your diet for those who suffer from excess weight: delicious low-fat seafood dishes will help you easily get rid of extra pounds.

Dishes with sea cocktail: important preparation nuances

Most often, a seafood cocktail appears on tables as part of a salad or as an independent snack, seasoned with aromatic sauce. However, seafood is good not only as a salad. Recipes for dishes with sea cocktails are quite numerous: these are not only appetizers and salads, but also soups, hot dishes and even baked goods - for example, pizza “Frutti di Mare” with seafood.

Why do such diverse recipes remain unclaimed? Probably the reason is that not everyone knows how to cook a seafood cocktail. And if you cook or fry this semi-finished product incorrectly, the seafood will become like hard rubber with a not very pleasant smell.

What is the secret of delicious seafood? In the cooking time. The seafood cocktail goes on sale already brewed, which means that there is no need to subject it to further heat treatment. Shrimp, pieces of squidSquid: beneficial properties and contraindications of shellfish and octopus, as well as mussels can be heated for no more than three to four minutes, and in most cases two minutes will be enough.

If a dish recipe requires more or less long cooking, the seafood cocktail should be added to the dish only at the very end of cooking, shortly before it is ready.

For example, a popular hot seafood cocktail dish is spaghetti with stewed seafood. When preparing it, you first need to make the sauce, bring it to a boil and only then add the frozen seafood cocktail to it. Then you should wait for the boil to resume and keep the dish on the fire for no more than a couple of minutes.

If you are preparing pizza with seafood, it is better to defrost the seafood cocktail in advance and place the seafood on the pizza two to three minutes before the end of baking. Seafood is most often added frozen to soups and seafood cocktail main courses. If seafood is served chilled, you can simply defrost it without heat treatment.

What seasonings to use

Modern housewives cannot imagine the process of creating culinary masterpieces without the use of spices. Long gone are the days when ginger, pepper and cinnamon were worth their weight in gold - today there is a row of jars with seasonings in any kitchen. But in pursuit of original tastes, there is a great risk of significantly distorting the natural taste.

Seafood has an exciting sea smell and a delicate, incomparable taste. Strong-smelling spices can easily “overwhelm” this taste, so when preparing certain dishes with seafood, it is better to put the spice packets away. Seafood is beautiful in itself; there is no need to spoil its refined taste. A little salt (preferably sea salt), a drop of lemon juice, and a sprig of parsley. Parsley: beneficial properties and contraindications of an indispensable seasoning - such a set of seasonings will be quite enough to highlight the exquisite taste of shrimp, mussels, squid and octopus.

Of course, there are many exceptions to this rule. Some people prefer shrimp with ginger, some like mussels in garlic sauce, and for others, the best thing you can cook from seafood is a spicy appetizer with cayenne pepper and onions. You can experiment with different combinations of spices, getting more and more new tastes. And yet, you should definitely try a sea cocktail without any additives, in its natural form, to appreciate its pure and fresh taste.

For full taste

How to emphasize the exquisite taste of a sea cocktail? Traditionally, seafood is seasoned with lemon juice. Also, the taste of seafood is perfectly emphasized by mayonnaise sauce, including those with additives. Often seafood is stewed in thick creamy or tomato sauces. The combination of seafood and tomatoes seems a little strange at first glance, but the taste of this dish is simply amazing.

As for drinks, a seafood cocktail goes best, of course, with white wine. Dry white wine and seafood are a classic. However, other options are possible. Let's say some people like to combine seafood with light beer. For non-alcoholic drinks, grapefruit juice is suitable. Grapefruit: beneficial properties and contraindications of the refreshing fruit - its piercing bitter-sour taste will highlight the delicate texture of seafood. Sour apple juice would also be nice, as would lemonade flavored with a little mint.
