Baking is science and I don't like formulas, but cooking is art and anything goes...and the simpler the better. It's all about less time at the stove and more time at the table. With a forty year passion for food I'm excited to share what I do in the kitchen nearly every day.

Squid with Potatoes and Scallions
I’ve really enjoyed eating squid more this summer…tasty,
easy to prepare, and affordable. I’ve
been grilling and tossing it with some variation of fresh chopped tomatoes,
chick peas, feta, olives, and lemon, but this time around I tried something a
bit different, potatoes and scallions. I
sliced my Idaho potatoes in thirds the long way and tossed them along with my
whole scallions in a little olive oil, salt, and pepper while my grill was
heating up. After placing the potatoes
and scallions on the grill I turned it down to medium-low and flipped
occasionally, the scallions were done after about ten minutes, the potatoes
more like thirty. I turned the grill
back up to medium-high and butterflied my squid by slicing them down one side
then tossing them along with their heads in some olive oil, salt, and
pepper. Once on the grill they took
approximately five minutes per side depending on how crispy you like the edges.
It was then as easy as tossing the squid with the cut up potatoes and scallions
along with some extra virgin olive oil, and coarse salt to taste. The lemon vinaigrette I used on my side salad
was a great accompaniment.
