Method

  1. Fry the chorizo in a pan until the oil comes out and the chorizo is firm. Pour the oil and meat into a blender and purée. Stuff the squid with the purée, but don't overfill. Hold the end together with a cocktail stick.
  2. Blend the olives with 2-3 tbsp olive oil to make a tapenade. Put the tomatoes in a bowl. Pour over the vinegar and 3 tbsp olive oil.
  3. Heat a chargrill or barbecue to high. Rub the squid all over with a little olive oil, then grill on all sides until caramelised and cooked through. Serve with the green olive tapenade and tomato salad.

    This is one of the nicest dishes I've ever eaten. And that's no small claim. Had it with home made patatas bravas - absolutely lovely.

    So easy to make. Had it for a lunch with salad outside on a suuny satuarday afternoon. I totally recommend this for a fantastic prepare ahead starter for a dinner party, or a tapas course.

    Wonder if I can make this with cuttlefish instead? Or are those tougher and so not so well suited?
