In Greek: καλαμάρια σαλάτα, pronounced kah-lah-MAH-reeyah sah-LAH-tah
This meze or appetizer is easy to make, and a favorite with wine or ouzo. It's prettier when made with large squid (calamari) but small work just as well (see photo).
Cook Time: 35 minutes
Ingredients:
- about 2 pounds of large or small squid, fresh or frozen
- 1 cup of white wine
- 1 bay leaf
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of pepper
- 2-3 pinches of oregano
- extra virgin olive oil
- red wine vinegar
- 1-2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley
- thinly sliced onion
Preparation:
Clean the squid.
Place the whole squid, wine, and bay leaf in a small stew pot or dutch oven. Bring to a boil, lower heat and simmer, covered, for 35-40 minutes. Drain, and cut into rings. Place on a serving platter or in a shallow salad bowl. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and oregano. Add olive oil and vinegar to taste. Top with parsley and onion slices.
