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.
