How to

Clean squid

To clean squid, hold firmly and gently remove the head from the body, being careful not to pierce the ink sack. The innards should come away with the head.

Cut the tentacles away from the head below the eyes and discard the eyes.

Pull out the clear, plastic-looking cartilage from the top of the body and pull off the outer skin. Rinse well and drain.

Make:

• Black Skorthalia with seared squid and baby leeks
• Salt and pepper squid
• Warm squid and chermoula salad with crisp fennel
