GillBilly Style Jumbo Squid Sandwich


Ingredients:

4 servings

1 – 1 1/2 lbs jumbo squid body, membranes removed
3 T olive oil
3 T seasoned rice vinegar
2 lemons, juice only
1 T Dijon mustard
1 t dried basil leaves
3 garlic cloves, minced
pinch each salt and pepper
3 T mayonnaise
1 t capers
dash or two Tabasco
shredded lettuce
sandwich rolls or bread

Instructions: Cut squid body so that it lays flat on a cutting surface. Slice diagonally (at an angle) into very thin strips. Combine olive oil with next 6 ingredients in a bowl. Add sliced squid, cover and refrigerate for 1 hour. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add squid and cook for 30 – 40 seconds or just until color changes. Combine mayo with capers and Tabasco. Spread on rolls. Mound lettuce on rolls and top with squid.

Note: If your squid is tough and rubbery, you cooked it too long.

My biggest worry is that my wife (when I'm dead) will sell my fishing gear for what I said I paid for it.
