Fried squid in a frying pan with onions

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to fry squid with onions? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Today I suggest you fry them in a grill pan. In it, they turn out with a beautiful pattern, do not absorb a lot of oil and it is much more convenient to cook them. But if there is no such frying pan, you can perfectly do it all on a regular non-stick coating.

2. Step 2:

   

   Peel the onion and cut it into four parts. Put everything in a bowl, add salt and a little vegetable oil. Mix gently so as not to break the structure of the quarters. Onions can be used absolutely any and the more varieties you take, the more interesting the dish will look and the taste will turn out.

3. Step 3:

   

   I prefer to buy prepared squid carcasses, but even they need to be properly prepared before frying. I think many people have come across the fact that during heat treatment the carcass shrinks and becomes much smaller. To do this, you need to remove a thin film from the squid carcass, it is she who shrinks and warps the squid. It is freely hooked with nails and removed without damaging the carcass. Do the same from the inside, turning out the squid.

4. Step 4:

   

   Season the carcasses with salt and pepper, sprinkle them with lime juice. Then turn them out again on the front side. I do not advise you to salt and pepper them from the face, after cooking they will look like dirty or with burnt sticking all over the surface.

5. Step 5:

   

   Pour vegetable oil into the grill pan and put one or two sprigs of thyme. It can be replaced with dry rosemary sprigs. Peel the garlic, cut it and put it between the grooves.

7. Step 6:

   

   Put the pan on medium heat and heat the oil for 1-2 minutes. During this time, the oil will heat up and begin to acquire flavor. Slide the thyme and garlic onto the two sides of the pan and put the squid. Press down on top with a special grill lid. If there is no such thing, use another clean, heavy frying pan. It will crush the carcasses and then they will acquire the characteristic strips for the grill.

8. Step 7:

   

   Remove the thyme sprigs and fry each side for 3-4 minutes. Do not keep squid in a frying pan for a very long time, because of this they will become "rubber" and nothing can fix it.

9. Step 8:

   

   After removing the finished squid from the grill pan, spread out the prepared onion. Fry it on a slower heat for 5-7 minutes, turning it over once. If desired, you can add other vegetables, I put young carrots and radishes. Add the fried vegetables to the squid and serve.

    Bon appetit.
