Spanish 'la plancha' squid.
 this is my take on this classic tapas dish 
another eye candy dish
that will send your friends to the depths of despair as they find how easy this dish is to cook
fresh squid chopped put into milk for 30 minutes its an old greek way to tenderize the squid my
mum and dad always did this otherwise it would be chewy... after 30 minutes drain the milk and make a marinate out of garlic smoked paprika salt and green tabasco all to taste but a guide is two 10 to 12 inch squid chopped and cleaned and 1 teaspoon of these... smoked paprika salt cracked black pepper
1 big clove of garlic finely diced
 1x tablespoon tabasco (to taste)
so then put squid into a bowl add marinate and mix well leave in fridge for at least 1 hour
return bowl to room temp heat a wok to high heat add 2 tablespoons olive oil add squid and cook fast and furious till charred and fantastic (it has to burn a bit)
drool facter 10!
serve with other tapas crisp cold beer or white wine and crusty bread
bon apetite
