The most exquisite dishes are prepared from seafood. Among the various seafood, squids are the most popular. Affordable price allows you to diversify the diet menu daily with salads with clam meat. Many ways to prepare such a dish are based on the classic squid salad. Here is the recipe for its preparation.

Classic squid salad: cooking recipe

Since the salad recipe is a classic, it has a minimum set of ingredients. The main component is clam meat, it should make up the bulk of the salad. In addition to it, onions (bulb or green, according to the season), boiled eggs, herbs and mayonnaise are added to the dish.

So, for half a kilo of carcasses we take 2 eggs, one onion, 150 g of mayonnaise. Eggs need to be boiled longer than others. They must be hard-boiled, for this you need to boil them for 10 minutes. After boiling, drain the water and put the pan under a stream of cold water from the tap so that the peel is easily peeled off.

While the eggs are cooling, pay attention to the squid. They cannot be boiled for a long time, cooking squids consists in scalding with boiling water or short boiling. Literally half a minute, and they need to be pulled out. We will talk about how to properly cook a mollusk later. And now back to the description of the preparation of the salad.

We clean the onions and cut them in our favorite salad way: rings or half rings. That is, we cut it into circles, and we disassemble the resulting circles into rings and put them in squid salad.

Note to the hostess: the onion must be cut thinly. Even if you cut it in rings, try to keep their thickness to a minimum. This is the most delicious way to add onions to salads.

Three boiled eggs on a coarse grater for greater uniformity. If you cut them into pieces, you get larger components. And we need to highlight squid meat in the salad.

The main delicacy, squid, is cut into rings.

We spread the ingredients on a dish: first a layer of squid, then eggs and mayonnaise, top with herbs and green onions. Salad "squid under a fur coat" is ready! If you mix the ingredients, you get a classic squid salad. The taste of both dishes is delicious, and the composition is very healthy.

In some varieties of classic squid recipes, the onion is pre-sautéed (fried) in sunflower oil. In this case, it is better to cut it not into rings, but into small squares.

The summer classic recipe adds juicy summer vegetables to the squid salad: cucumber, tomato, sweet bell pepper. Carrots are only suitable when fried, and this is not interesting for a summer salad.

Summer classic squid salad with fresh vegetables

Since there are a lot of vegetables in the salad, the number of chicken eggs is increased in the recipe. For each tube of squid take one boiled egg. The recipe for a classic vegetable salad with clam meat is as follows:

Take 4 squid, 4 eggs, 2 onions, 4 fresh tomatoes, 3 cucumbers, 2 bell peppers, lettuce (4-5 pieces, to taste), dill or parsley (bunch), sour cream for dressing (200 g) , salt and spices to taste. Cooked squids are cut into rings. You can additionally chop the clam meat by cutting the rings into pieces.

Summer recipe replaces grated eggs with cut ones. Vegetable squid salad contains quite a lot of ingredients, and grated eggs will be invisible in it.

Finely chop the tomatoes, cucumbers, sweet peppers, greens, onions into thin rings. It is desirable that all ingredients are approximately the same size (except for long onion half rings). We mix the ingredients, add sour cream, salt, spices and put in a large dish on lettuce leaves or in separate bowls. Summer delicacy is ready!

Spices for squid meat

Chinese culinary experts believe that the art of cooking begins with spices. What spices to add to a summer classic recipe for a light dish with squid meat?

Squid do not have a strong taste or smell. Spices added to seafood should not clog their delicate taste, but highlight and emphasize its sophistication. Squids are generally picky about spices. Lemon juice is ideal, sometimes squids are not even boiled, but only cleaned, cut and immersed in sour lemon juice (for 20-30 minutes). Then spread on a dish, sprinkle with parsley with a small amount of garlic. It turns out an almost ready-made squid salad, very healthy, because it was prepared without heat treatment of the ingredients. Sometimes lemon is replaced with lime - it has a more exotic and interesting taste.

Another way to use spices with clam meat is to add them to the vinegar solution in which the squid is soaked. Paprika, ground bay leaf, marjoram, cinnamon, turmeric, and nutmeg with ginger are used. Everything is in small quantities. Black pepper is replaced with softer - white.

How to cook squid?

Proper preparation of shellfish is the key to the success of your dish. Heat treatment of squid is minimal. If the shrimp needs to be at least boiled, then it is enough to scald these cephalopods with boiling water or hold in boiling water for 10 seconds. But no more than half a minute. Further aging in boiling water leads to a loss of volume of meat and the formation of a more rigid and coarse structure in it. The mollusk becomes like rubber, eating it is tough and not tasty. True, prolonged cooking can lead to its softening, but the volume of products will be significantly reduced.

Note to the hostess: common recommendations “boil squid for three to five minutes” limit the time it takes for the protein to turn into a rigid structure. Indeed, up to 3 minutes of boiling, the clam meat still remains soft. But the volume is decreasing. Therefore, reducing the heat treatment time saves the weight and volume of the delicacy.

The photo shows comparisons: the first squid is cooked in half a minute, the second - in three. There is a difference in volume.

Therefore, when preparing squid, we do not leave the stove and keep a ladle ready. Ten to twenty seconds - and the clam is ready. For heat treatment of squid, it is convenient to use a colander. When the water boils, it is dipped into the water along with the cleaned meat. After a short exposure, the meat turns white, and the colander is lifted over the pan, the water is allowed to drain, and the shellfish is laid out on a cutting board.

Squid cleaning can be done before and after heat treatment. Outside, the mollusk is covered with a reddish-brown skin. If the product is fresh or has been frozen only once, this peel can be easily removed. It must be pry off and removed from the tube.

If squids have been repeatedly thawed and frozen again (and this often happens during their transportation and storage), then the skin is removed poorly. Then it is better to pour boiling water over the meat, and then remove the bursting outer film.

The recipe for a classic squid salad is simple and affordable. Prepare it and enjoy!

Once my daughter and I went to the store for shopping, she was then 5 years old. While I was looking at the shelves, looking for the necessary products, she froze by the refrigerator with frozen fish. I went to see what interested her so much, and my daughter, pointing her finger at the white, almost transparent carcasses of frozen squid, asked: “Mom, who is this ugly one?” With the answer, I then, to be honest, hesitated. And really, who is it? Neither fish nor fowl. To tell a five-year-old child that this is a cephalopod means to say nothing. At home, we examined the squid in the picture, and, having learned that it was also edible, the daughter made a categorical conclusion: “I will never eat it!” However, a few years later, a squid salad called "Laguna" became her favorite salad. And since then, having become interested in squids, I learned a lot of useful information for myself. It turns out that this is an incredibly valuable, dietary and healthy product for us, which is often called a balm for the heart because of its beneficial effect on this vital organ.

And although these in their own way cute sea creatures have many opponents, the army of squid fans is constantly replenished. All over the world, squid is fried, baked, stuffed, marinated and even eaten raw. Squid meat is an excellent delicacy that goes well with vegetables, cereals and fish. But most often this product, as you know, is used as the main ingredient for salads: boiled with a whole carcass, cut into strips, rings or added to a salad raw.

The most tedious and tedious procedure is the removal of the skin from squid, which is why many housewives simply do not want to mess with them. However, there is a little trick that makes this process much easier. To do this, the carcass of the squid must be poured over from all sides with boiling water (this can also be done with frozen squid). As a result, the film rolls up almost immediately and can be easily removed under cold running water. Then the chord is removed, which is a long transparent rod. Next, squid carcasses are boiled in salted water. Here, too, there is one moment, which is undesirable to miss - the squid is cooked for no more than 3-5 minutes, or even less. Otherwise, the meat will become very tough. Some housewives use the following very effective method: after the water boils, turn off the heat and lower the squids into boiling water for literally 3 minutes. Then the carcasses are taken out, allowed to cool and cut into rings or strips.

As you can see, squid salads are easy to prepare. Although I have to admit that I had never cooked them before, I thought that processing squid was a tricky business. Imagine my surprise when I first bought and cleaned them. It turns out that everything is very simple. But some subtleties still need to be known.

How to cook squid for salad so that they are soft

Squids are useful in that they are 20% protein. But it is this quality that implies some features of their preparation. The fact is that with prolonged cooking, the protein coagulates, which makes the squid hard like rubber and unsuitable for consumption. Therefore, in order to cook soft squid for salad, you must adhere to the following rules:

1. Choose when buying a white carcass, pay attention to the freshness of the smell. Carcasses should not stick together with each other.
2. It is necessary to clean the squids before cooking as carefully as possible so that no films remain. Otherwise, hard lumps may form on the surface of the carcasses.
3. The easiest way to clean squid from films is to fill the carcasses with hot water and leave for a few minutes. The film then easily lags behind and is removed.

4. Inside the squid fillet, be sure to remove the cartilaginous chitin chord. Simply separate it from the carcass and remove all solid particles with your hands.

5. After the squids have been cleaned, boil them in salt water. At the same time, after boiling, cook for no more than 2 minutes, even better 1.5 minutes. At the same time, do not leave the pan, but strictly monitor the time.

6. After the time has elapsed, immediately remove the squids from the pan and put them in a colander.

7. For 1 kg of fresh squid, you will need 2 liters of water and 2 tbsp. l. salt.

8. For more flavor while cooking, add 2 tbsp. l. sugar, bay leaf, black peppercorns and 1 tbsp. l. vinegar.

9. Another reliable way to cook soft squid for salad is to pour boiling water over them 2-3 times. This method is considered more reliable, since there is no danger of overcooking squid. This fill is enough to cook squid for consumption.

10. If you missed the moment, digested the squids for more than 2 minutes and they became tough, do not despair - they can be saved. In volume, they greatly decrease, but after 30 minutes of cooking they will become soft again.
