Spicy Calamari Salad

This salad is great in summer, especially if you are trying to go light on carbs. My Mum found this recipe which also has a dressing, though we have found that it is not necessary. Try to use good quality calamari.

500 g of calamari
mixed lettuce
2 tsp grated fresh ginger
2 cloves of garlic
1/2 tsp cayene pepper
1/2 tsp Chinese five-spice
1/4 cup sweet chilli
2 tbs olive oil
tbs coriander

Cut the calamari in half and score the inside with criss-crosses. Marinate the calamari in the ginger, garlic, cayene pepper, Chinese five-spice, sweet chilli and coriander. Cook the calamari in batches in the olive oil in a very hot wok or fry pan. Serve over fresh mixed lettuce and eat immediately. You can add cherry tomatoes and cucumber to the salad if desired.

Serves 4
