Barbecued Calamari with Lemon & Olive Oil Dressing
There is nothing quite like calamari straight off the barbecue – slightly charred, tender, dressed with olive oil and lemon. It's one of the great simple pleasures of seafood cooking. The key is high heat and speed – calamari goes from perfect to rubbery in moments, so you need to be ready to move quickly and serve immediately. This is the dish we make every summer without fail. It disappears faster than anything else on the table. Barbecued Calamari Serves 4 as a starter You'll need 600 g calamari tubes and tentacles, cleaned 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra to serve 2 garlic cloves, crushed juice of 1 lemon, plus wedges to serve 1 teaspoon dried oregano salt flakes...
