I really want this selection of salads to be useful to you. Indeed, most of us like to use squid either fried or boiled, someone prefers them in batter, or a canned version. Everyone has different preferences and tastes.

Those who have never eaten or tasted marine life in their lives often think what to cook from them? I advise you to start cooking with salads.

Turns out squid is a small clam, from the fibers of which we get for the body the right amount of protein, trace elements and even vitamins. And the most interesting, I personally did not know about it. The fact that the meat of this marine inhabitant helps us cope with depression relieves emotional stress and increases the vitality of a person. So, it turns out !!!

  How to quickly and correctly clean squid from the film? 3 cleaning methods

In order to make any salad with this ingredient, you must first clean and boil them. How to do it right and fast at the same time?

Fans of watching videos and videos, I give such an opportunity to see the whole process of cleaning and cooking these "handsome" here in this story:

As you can see from the video, everything is elementary simple.

Nowadays, this marine product in stores is being sold more and more often, already frozen and peeled. Well, what if you bought fresh with your head and tentacles.

First of all, you need to remove the tentacles. Hold the head of a marine animal with one hand, and pull the tentacles with the other. With this movement, you can easily remove the tentacles and entrails.

Defrosted frozen carcasses first. It is best that they lie in the heat and thaw themselves. Do not resort to the microwave, it will damage the structure of the clam meat.

Methods for cleaning squid from the film. There are several options:

1 option. Carefully raise the skin with a cooking knife and remove. This method is laborious and time consuming.

Option 2. You can boil carcasses in water for no more than 2-3 minutes, so that the meat does not become hard and rubber. Cooking is not worth it!

Important! If you still forget and 2-3 minutes have passed, then cook the clams for 1 hour, maybe even 2 hours, after this long time they will again become soft.

3 option. Sprinkle fresh clams with boiling water and carefully remove the skin, it should easily stretch. In boiling water, they should lie for 2 minutes.

Many hostesses wonder how long do squids need to be cooked? The answer is simple: no longer than 2-3 minutes, you can even 1 minute.

All peeled mollusks, if you notice in appearance, have a creamy shade, well, or white. It also appears on the inner surface of the film, which you need to pick up with a knife or remove it with the nails on your hands.

There are times that this film is also on the outside, even if you already removed the skin, then under the skin you could simply not see or remove this film. Remove the film on the outside.

The secret to delicious squid  lies precisely in this, just for some reason not everyone knows about this invisible film. Many people don’t take it off, and then they say that this dish has no taste. Therefore, do not forget to remove the film! And the meat will surely turn out to be soft, tender and tasty.

After you see that the carcass of a sea mollusk has been cleaned of the film, make a vertical transverse incision on the outside (outside) and remove the chitin chord inside. It is transparent, long and very dense, pulling, it will easily clean. .

If something else remains from the entrails, be sure to remove it. And after removing all unnecessary “garbage”, rinse the carcasses well under running water.

How to cook frozen squid for salad, so that they are soft?

I will tell only the most popular methods of cooking these marine inhabitants, and in my opinion the lungs, which should be used in everyday life. There are more complicated cooking options, but I believe that true chefs who have more than 100 guests in the restaurant can use this method.

Method 1 Take a saucepan and pour cold water into it. Put the squid in water. Salt and cook for 1-2 minutes. Attention! Do not leave the pan, as soon as the water begins to boil, you see the first bubbles on the surface, immediately note the time, and then watch out and get a rubber taste. Then drain the water, and put the clams on a plate for cooling.

Method 2 Place the carcasses in boiling salted water and cook them 1-2 minutes after boiling. Next, immediately place them in ice water. In my opinion, this is the easiest way in everyday life, and the meat is very tender and soft.

Important! Boil the product in salt water! Since it is during cooking that the meat will take on the necessary taste qualities of salt, if you forget to salt, it will be impossible to do it later!

Do not think that cleaning and cooking these beauties is very difficult and time-consuming. No! Once again, no, just try and I'm sure you will succeed.

After all, there are many options for preparing various squid dishes. And the benefits of seafood are even greater. Today you will be convinced of my words if you prepare at least one of the presented options.

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 suggests some of the features of their preparation.

Therefore, in order to cook soft squid for salad, you must adhere to the following rules:

1. Choose when buying a carcass of white color, pay attention to the freshness of the smell. Carcases should not stick together.
2. You need to clean the squid before cooking as carefully as possible so that there are no films left. Otherwise, solid lumps may form on the surface of the carcasses.
3. The easiest way to clean the squid from the films is to fill the carcasses with hot water and leave for several minutes. The film then easily lags behind and is removed.

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

5. After the squids are cleaned, boil them in salt water. In this case, after boiling, cook 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 passed, squids should be immediately removed from the pan and put in a colander.

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