Moroccan-style Pan-fried Baby Squid Recipe

This is a classic Moroccan recipe for very lightly-fried baby squid that can be served as a starter (appetizer) or a light lunch dish.

Moroccan-style Pan-fried Baby Squid Recipe

Ingredients:

8 prepared baby squid (with tentacles)
1 tsp ground turmeric
1 tbsp smen
2 garlic loves, finely chopped
15g fresh ginger, grated
2 tsp clear honey
juice of 1 lemon
2 tsp harissa
sea salt, to taste
1 bunch of coriander leaves, chopped, to garnish

Method:
Wash the squid then dry inside and out with kitchen paper. Sprinkle over the turmeric then heat the smen in a large frying pan. Add the ginger and garlic and fry for a few minutes, or until beginning to brown. Now add the squid and their tentacles.

Fry very quickly on both sides over high heat. Take care not to over-cook the squid or it will become tough and rubbery. It should just be done.

Add the lemon juice, honey and harissa to the pan. Stir until you have a sauce. Season to taste with salt, sprinkle over the chopped coriander and serve immediately.
