Ingredients

  • 75ml rapeseed oil
  • 1 tsp red chilli flakes
  • 400g whole baby squid, cleaned (about 2 per person)
  • to serve crusty bread
  • 70g tomato ketchup

  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp soy
 sauce
  • 1 tbsp mirin
  • 1 tbsp caster sugar
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder

Method

  • STEP 1

    Heat 2 tbsp of the rapeseed oil over a medium heat and add the chilli flakes, making sure they don’t brown. Cook for 1 minute, then add the rest of the oil and warm through, about 2 minutes. Remove and cool to room temperature.

  • STEP 2

    For the BBQ sauce, whisk all of the ingredients in a bowl.
Separate the tentacles from the bodies of the squid and cut the hard membranes off. Put the bodies of the squid flat on a surface. Insert a palette knife or blunt table knife to act as a guard and make cuts as if you were going to cut rings, but without going all the way through. Heat a non-stick frying pan until it’s very hot.

  • STEP 3

    Brush the squid and tentacles with the cooled chilli oil and season with salt and pepper. Fry the squid for 1 minute on each side, then remove to a large platter, drizzle with the BBQ sauce and serve with crusty bread.
