For a long time it was among the products classified as delicacies, and buying a jar of canned squid was considered lucky. But now it is not difficult to purchase it in the store, and we are happy to prepare it both for the holiday table and just for a regular lunch or dinner.

Many people don’t like to cook dishes with squid because they supposedly take a long time to clean, and they don’t want to bother with it. In fact, cleaning them is not at all difficult and I will tell you how to do it. Therefore, if you do not know this, then read it first. And here we will not detain readers who can easily cope with this.
1. Clean the squid. Pour water into the pan, there should be quite a lot of water. Bring it to a boil, lightly salt it and add a carcass or two. Close the lid, let it boil, then immediately open the lid and cook for 1.5 - 2 minutes.
There is a second method, in which the carcass is poured with boiling water and kept in it 3 times for one minute. Each time, drain the water.
I will tell you about all the methods of heat treatment of squid
2. Remove the carcass from the water. If boiled, then it must be placed in cold water to stop the heat treatment process. Allow to cool, then cut into thin strips.
3. Cut boiled eggs and cheese into cubes.
4. Crab sticks in small pieces.
5. Chop the greens and garlic. Chop the green onions.

A delicious and beautifully presented salad is ready. So eat it with pleasure!

Squid with carrots and garlic
This salad probably has Korean roots, and is made, as they say, “based on it.” These options are prepared using Korean carrots. The proposed recipe is prepared with fresh carrots, but with some elements typical of Korean cuisine.

1. Peel the carrots and cut into very thin long strips, cut as for, but much thinner. Then sprinkle it with sugar and add a pinch of salt. Stir the carrots and leave for a while so that the carrots release their juice, and at the same time they become slightly marinated, if such an expression is permissible for salt and sugar.
2. Meanwhile, prepare the squid. Clean them from films and entrails and pour boiling water over them, hold in it for 2 - 3 minutes, then drain the water. Leave them to cool.
Once cooled, cut into fairly large strips so that you can feel the pieces when you eat them.
3. Cut the onion into thin half rings, which then cut in half again, you should get thin quarters. Chop the garlic as finely as possible.
4. Meanwhile, the carrots should have released their juice, so they need to be squeezed out and mixed with the chopped squid.
5. Place all this beauty and deliciousness in a shallow bowl. Place the onion in a mound on top, separating it into individual rings. And put garlic on top of everything.
6. Sprinkle pepper over the entire surface of the salad, and sprinkle ground coriander on top of the onions and garlic.
7. Heat oil in a small frying pan. Pour hot oil over the garlic and coriander, thereby revealing the taste of the coriander and lightly frying the garlic and part of the onion. Let the salad stand for 10 - 15 minutes.

In this recipe, all products retain their original taste; they are not seasoned with mayonnaise. In addition, the taste and smell of garlic and coriander add piquant spicy flavor notes, which makes this salad simply unforgettable in taste.

How to clean squid easily and simply
As you may have noticed, each recipe begins with the fact that you first need to clean and boil the squid. The cooking time and, of course, the taste of the finished dish as a whole depend on how quickly and correctly we cope with this task.
So, probably everyone knows that if you overcook squid, its meat will become tough, difficult to chew and tasteless. Therefore, in order not to spoil the product, you need to know a few basic rules
I suggest you watch the video, which shows one of the traditional methods of cleaning and boiling squid, and below I will describe other ways in which this can be done.
As you can see from the video, everything is done quite simply. And now I will describe everything in more detail.
Our store shelves mostly sell already peeled frozen squid, and we are more accustomed to dealing with just such a product. Unfrozen shellfish are sold with their heads and tentacles. Therefore, the cleaning methods for these two products are slightly different.
If you purchased whole carcasses, then you need to cut off their tentacles. After cleaning, they can also be used for cooking. Then, holding the carcass with one hand and the head with the other, you need to lightly pull it. This action will allow you to easily remove the head along with the entrails.
Now, in both cases, we have whole carcasses with which we still have to work.
If you use frozen carcasses, then, of course, they must first be thawed. It is better to do this at natural room temperature. There is no need to use a microwave, so as not to destroy the delicate structure of the meat.
There are three cleaning methods:
The film is removed from a fresh carcass in one motion. But with a frozen one you will have to tinker a little.
- Such carcasses have a surface film of a characteristic brownish-pink color. It can be removed simply by picking it up with a knife. But this takes a significant amount of time.
- Therefore, you can use the method suggested in the video, that is, put the carcasses in boiling water and boil for 2 minutes.
- But, personally, I prefer to use the third method. It involves pouring boiling water over the shellfish. As a rule, with this method, the top film immediately begins to curl up. It is necessary to keep the carcasses in boiling water for two minutes, but no more.
After which the carcasses should be immediately placed in cold or ice water. Or you can put them in a colander under running water. In this case, part of the film can be easily washed off with water, and another part can be easily removed with a knife, simply by scraping the surface.
The fact is that if you leave them to cool naturally, the heat treatment process will continue until the meat has completely cooled. And our task is only to remove the films; we do not need additional heating of the meat. We'll deal with this a little later.
Already cleaned and washed carcasses are usually white or slightly creamy in color. However, there is still a very thin film on the outer and inner surfaces, which you simply won’t see, but if you carefully pick it up from the edge, it will easily stretch into a rather long layer. This film must also be removed.
This almost invisible thin film, if not removed, can play a cruel joke on us. It is this that makes it impossible to obtain tender and tasty meat. This is a secret that not everyone knows and naturally not everyone removes it. And then they say that squid should not be cooked at all, since it has no taste.
And so before us is a whole carcass, cleaned from the outside. If you use it for salad, you can make a transverse cut and also clean it from the inside. If you use the carcass for stuffing, you will not be able to cut it, so you will need to carefully turn it out and clean it from the inside.
Inside we will definitely have to remove the chitinous chord; it has a transparent color and is quite long and dense, but by pulling it from below, it is quite easily removed.
Also, sometimes there may be remains of entrails inside, which also need to be removed. And again, we need to remove the thin transparent film.
After all manipulations, the carcasses should be thoroughly washed again.
How to cook squid
There are also three ways to cook squid. And now we will look at them all.
- 1. Place the carcasses in cold water, salt the water, bring it to a boil, and cook for 1 minute. Such carcasses will cool at room temperature.
The disadvantage of this method is that it is not recommended to leave the pan during the entire process. Squids should be cooked for exactly a minute, and no more. The time is calculated from the moment when the first “bulls” appear on the water. Otherwise the meat will turn out tough.
- 2. Place the carcasses in boiling salted water, cover with a lid, and bring to a boil again. Then open the lid and cook for another one and a half to two minutes. Then immediately place in cold or ice water to stop the thermal cooking process.
This is the easiest and fastest way, in which the meat turns out tender, soft and very tasty.
- 3. Pour boiling water over the cleaned carcasses and let them sit for 1 minute. Then drain the water and rinse the carcasses thoroughly. Then pour boiling water over again and leave again for 1 minute. Then do everything again.
In the last pour, the water must be salted.
You should always cook shellfish in salted water. The structure of the meat is such that later it will no longer be possible to salt it; it will not absorb the required amount of salt. And you will no longer get the desired taste.
The disadvantage of this method is that it takes the longest time. You need to boil the water three times, and let it sit for a minute three times. However, if there are a lot of carcasses, then this method may be justified. I'll explain why.
Squid should be cooked in a large volume of water. Moreover, put no more than two carcasses into the water each time.
This is necessary so that the water heats up faster and the heat treatment process is minimal. If you put three or more carcasses in a pan, the heating process will take longer, and the meat will simply sit in hot water, not really cook to the desired state, and may become tough before it has time to cook.
Therefore, if there are a lot of squids, then with the second method it will also take a long time.
Squids prepared by any of these three methods do not differ in taste and softness of meat. Therefore, you can safely use any of them.
Sometimes people ask the question: what to do if the squid turns out tough? We didn’t time it, forgot about them and overcooked them...
Do not throw it away under any circumstances! Cook them over low heat for at least another hour, or even better, two hours. The meat will become soft again, this is how a canned product is prepared. But this is only as a last resort, all the benefits and taste are in a properly prepared product..
From all that has been said, we can conclude that cleaning and cooking squid is not so difficult. Once you try it, you will understand it yourself. It is enough to know only the basic techniques and rules, however, as elsewhere.
But the correct use of this product, useful in every sense of the word, will allow you to prepare many tasty, healthy and dietary dishes. Such, for example, as today’s salads offered to your attention.
If you liked today’s article, and even more so, found it useful, share it with your friends. Perhaps some of them are not yet preparing squid salads. And the reason may be that they don’t know delicious recipes. Or maybe because he doesn’t know how to clean them properly and cook them deliciously.
Bon appetit!
Good morning everybody! I continue to write a series of articles on salads. And today I present to your attention a cool selection with squid. Agree that it is better to eat something that is truly healthy, tasty and also nutritious.
I already had notes on this topic before, where I shared with you all kinds of dishes and even offered lean dishes made from these sea mollusks.
Oddly enough, but now squids are increasingly found on our tables, especially on holidays and at feasts. Although there’s probably something so strange about this, because if before it was almost impossible to get squid, now this overseas product is sold in every supermarket, which we happily buy, and then create various culinary masterpieces.
In most cases, the most popular seafood dishes are salads, which can be seasoned with mayonnaise, vegetable oil or a specially prepared sauce.

Don't believe me? Then come visit me here, by the way, I showed there beautiful decorations for dishes, and gave a lot of necessary advice that everyone should know when dealing with these sea creatures. Therefore, I will not repeat myself; today I am showing you other recipes.
I’ll start with perhaps the simplest and most traditional, I would say primitive salad, so to speak in a hurry and perhaps for every day. Because, firstly, it is not difficult to prepare, and secondly, the main products are vegetables, especially since they will be used fresh, which also need to be consumed in our diet daily. I think you will agree with me!?
