This quick and easy Spanish dish is often served as part of a tapas meal with lots of other tasty savoury small dishes. However, it makes a delicious starter to a Mediterranean meal or can be served as a light summer lunch for two people. Most squid sold on fish counters will be ready- prepared and cleaned with the tentacles pushed inside the body. Don’t throw the tentacles away; fry them with the squid rings. Make sure that you cook the squid quickly and over a high heat – it it’s overcooked it will have a rubbery texture.

- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
