Dressing

  • 1 tbs sherry vinegar

Method
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the squid into 1cm thick rings and cut the tentacles into even lengths. Toss with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Whisk together the ingredients for the dressing in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat a large frypan over high heat and cook the chorizo for 1-2 minutes a side until crisp and the fat has rendered into the pan, transfer chorizo to dressing. Add the squid to the pan and cook, turning, for 1-2 minutes until opaque. Remove from heat and add squid to the chorizo and dressing and toss to combine.
