Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Squid freezes really well and it's a great idea to buy fresh squid, then cut it into 2cm pieces and freeze it on a tray, then keep it in a zip-lock freezer bag. You can then cook it from frozen, or pop it into a bowl of water for 10 minutes or so and dry it on some kitchen paper before cooking. There are some really good semi-dried cherry tomatoes and olives around at the moment from Belazu and Sacla which come preserved in olive oil and which are perfect for snacks like this.
70-80g squid, cut into rough 2cm chunks
8-10 semi-dried tomatoes in oil (if you can't find them then cherry tomatoes will do instead)
10-12 green or black stoned olives
1tbsp olive oil plus the oil from the semi-dried tomatoes
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Season the squid, heat a little olive oil in a frying pan and cook it on a high heat for about 2-3 minutes.
Transfer the squid to a bowl with the tomatoes and olives and toss together with some of the oil from the tomatoes.
Serve with some crusty bread or salad leaves.
