Method

Ingredients

- 500 g Squid
- 1 tsp Whole black peppercorns
- 1 tsp Chilli flakes
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Willies Cacao
- 2 Tbs Olive oil

Method

1

Cut the tentacles off the squid and set aside. Open out the squid tubes and lightly score with a crisscross pattern. Pat dry with kitchen paper, wrap in cling film and store in the refrigerator until ready to cook.

2

Place the peppercorns, chilli flakes and salt in a dry pan and toast over a medium heat until fragrant. Grind using a pestle and mortar. Stir in the cacao. Preheat a griddle pan over a high heat. Remove the squid from the refrigerator. Drizzle over the oil, then dust with the cacao-spice mix.

3

Grill for 1-2 minutes – larger ones for 1 minute each side, smaller ones for 1 minute on one side only – or until the edges of the squid curl up.

4

Serve with a garnish of lemon wedges and coriander.
