Ingredients
Method
Techniques
  • basil sauce
  • cucumber
  • parmesan
  • olive oil
  • squid
Put the squid in the hot pan; press it lightly to drive out its water, which would ruin the sauce if it stayed in.
Pressing the water out of the squid
  • ouzo
Once the water has gone, add the ouzo; let the alcohol cook off and remove the juice that is left.
Adding the ouzo
  • pepper
  • salt
Season with a little pepper and a little salt, little because the sauce has cheese in it.
  • potato
Add a little potato so it absorbs the oil and the oil does not show on the plate.
