This is a happy conjunction of flavors. Each ingredient - calamari, white beans, celery, sweet onion - is essential, and it seems that nothing else could be added without upsetting the balance. Serves 4 as appetizer or small plate Frozen calamari pieces, 1/2 pound, 3 cups, thawed Film pan with water and bring to boil. Add calamari pieces. Cook covered 1 or 2 minutes just until calamari becomes opaque, no longer transparent. Calamari pieces will cook down to half their volume. Remove calamari to a plate and reserve pan liquid. Cooked white beans, 3/4 cup, drained Olive oil, extra-virgin, 1/4 cup, or to taste Place beans, celery, and onion in the bowl. Add cooked calamari. Stir in olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Just before serving, stir in lemon juice. May be chilled before serving. [...check proportions...i think this is minimum calamari...] Variations If sweet onions are not available, steep yellow onion slices an hour in ice water in the refrigerator. |
