Branch out from your usual fish counter selection and try this barbecued cuttlefish recipe from River Cottage Spring

Serves 4

Ingredients

  • About 700g cuttlefish, flesh and tentacles, cleaned
  • 2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp fine sea salt
  • A few grinds of black pepper
  • 4 tbsp olive oil

Method: How to make barbecued cuttlefish

1. Cut the flesh of the cuttlefish into bite-sized pieces and score with a criss-cross pattern.

2. Whisk together the garlic, salt, pepper and oil and add the cuttlefish to the bowl, tossing with your hands and making sure everything is very well coated.

3. Heat a barbecue (or a cast-iron griddle or heavy-based ridged pan) until very hot. Cook the cuttlefish for about a minute each side until just beginning to char – you need to cook it very quickly over a very high heat, or it will become tough. Serve immediately.
