Grilled Squid with Chilli, Garlic and Oregano Sauce

10 Minutes | easy | Serves 2-4

Squid is available frozen all year round and is a really handy ingredient to have on standby for a quick and healthy barbecue. We love to whizz up a boldly flavoured sauce like this one with chilli, garlic and oregano to marinate and then dress it – give it a couple of hours marinating time if you can. Make sure to preheat the barbecue really well before cooking your squid – it should be cooked hot and fast!

Ingredients

  • 400g squid pieces tubes, cleaned
  • 1-2 red chillies
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Directions

1.

Open out the squid tubes

Open out the squid tubes using a sharp knife and score the inside surface in a cross-hatch pattern, taking care not to cut all the way through the squid.

Preheat two gas burners on the Jupiter Outback BBQ and set the heat to high. Make sure the grill is really hot before cooking your squid. Cook for a couple of minutes each side, or until just cooked through.
