Native pepper and chilli squid

February 1st 2009 23:31

Ok - so the original plan was to make salt and pepper squid, but with the ridiculous temperatures around this way at the moment (43 degrees for the past four days and high 40s forecast for the next week) I decided that I did not want to cook anything inside, and heat up our little house more than necessary.

So, instead of salt and pepper squid, I made a marinade with a few of the pepper berries, a red chillie, one garlic clove and some lemon juice and sat the squid in it for about half an hour and then cooked it on the barbecue.

The pepper berry flavour certainly came through and my boy had no complaints. I love the way the lemon juice slightly caramalises when it is cooked in this fashion - such a lovely colour!

yum...this sounds really good and doesn't seem too complicated either. And I love salt and pepper squid as well but I've tried out many recipes but they never seem to taste like those ones you get from a Thai restaurant. What's your recipe for that one?

OMG - I am salivating - I am so cooking this for my Friday night dinner. Thanks heaps!
I have also tried to recreate the restaurant version and failed but one restaurant I asked said they used szechuan pepper - maybe this is the secret to it?
Helen - I would be stoked if you actually knew, I just love it.
Cib - I have seen it in Harris Farm.

Cib - I'm not sure where the pepper berries came from as they were a gift to me.

Aimzster - this is a really easy dish to make and very tasty. I'll post a proper salt and pepper squid recipe when we get some more squid - stay posted!

Jason - I have also heard that salt and pepper squid is made with a combination of szechuan pepper and regular pepper - haven't actually tried this myself though. I'm looking forward to doing it with the pepper berries
