El Placer de Comer / The pleasure of eating

Garlic, parsley and olive oil are one of my favorite flavors. Chop some garlic (maybe a clove or two) and a handful of parsley. Slowly heat up the oil to medium, add the garlic and let it slowly impregnate the oil with the flavor. Watch out for the heat, you do not want the garlic to go brown or it will bring the bitterness of the garlic and you don't want that. When the garlic has turned bland and it has shine to it, add 3/4 of parsley. Wash and clean the squid. Dry it and sartee or grill it with some olive oil for a 1 or 2 minutes on each side. If you do it more than this it will be rubbery. Tip. Put a knife inside the squid and then make vertical cuts. Add the remaining parsley for extra flavor and garnishing. Enjoy.
