Grilled Cuttlefish with Lemon & Herbs

Here's a simple recipe for grilled cuttlefish with lemon and herbs:

Ingredients:

• 500 g fresh cuttlefish, cleaned.

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• Squeeze 2 tablespoons of juice from a fresh lemon.

• 2 cloves of garlic, minced

• 1 tsp dried oregano

• 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

• Salt and pepper to taste.

• Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the marinade:

   • In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, and fresh parsley.

   • Season the marinade with salt and pepper to taste.

2. Marinate the cuttlefish:

   • Put the cleaned cuttlefish in a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over it, coating it well.

   • Let the cuttlefish marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours, in the refrigerator.

3. Preheat the grill:

   • Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Make sure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.

4. Grill the cuttlefish:

   • Remove the cuttlefish from the marinade, letting the excess marinade drip off.

   • Place the cuttlefish on the hot grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until it's charred and cooked through. The flesh should be tender but firm.

5. Serve:

   • Transfer the grilled cuttlefish to a serving plate. Garnish with extra chopped parsley and lemon wedges to squeeze on top.

   • Serve hot with a side of crusty bread, a fresh salad, or grilled vegetables.

Tips:

• Don't overcook the cuttlefish, as it can become rubbery. Keep an eye on it while grilling.

• You can add other herbs like thyme or rosemary to the marinade for extra flavor.
