Cooking Instructions

01
To prepare the squid, reach inside the body and gently release the inners. Carefully pull the tentacles, trying to bring all of the inners away from the body, with the ink sac intact (dont worry if it doesnt stay intact, it just makes for cleaner preparation if it does).
02
To prepare the tentacles, cut just above the eyes and halve any long tentacles - keep them whole if they aren't too long. Discard the inners and head.
03
Remove the quill from inside the body (reach inside and it will come away easily - it looks like a piece of plastic) and discard.
04
With your fingers, remove the wings from either side of the squids body. Pull off and discard the skin from the wings and body, setting these aside.
05
Prepare the body. You will see a line where the quill sat simply run a sharp knife along that line to open up the body. Score the inside part of the body and slice into bite-sized pieces. Rinse the tentacles, wings and body well, then transfer to a bowl of ice-cold water, ready for cooking.
06
To make the dipping sauce, dissolve the sugar in the lime juice and fish sauce.
07
Mix in the chilli, garlic, ginger and nuts, and set aside.
08
To make the batter, mix the flours with a pinch of sea salt and a pinch of freshly ground white pepper.

The Caprese Salad Skewers recipe was a triumph! I prepared them for a party's barbecue and everyone loved them. The basil was so aromatic, the mozzarella so fresh, and the skewers were the perfect size and an appropriate.
