Spicy cuttlefish ( Sri Lankan inspired)

Serving size: 2
Prep  and Cook time: 15-25 minutes

INGREDIENTS

• 400g of squid chopped

• One onion sliced

• 4-5 green chillies cut sideways

• Five garlic cloves chopped

• Thumb size ginger crushed

• 1 tbsp honey ( in Sri Lanka usually use sugar to caramelise the onions)

• One tbsp-2 tbsp red chilli flakes, not powder

• 1/2 tsp curry powder ( optional but will definitely add some flavour)

• 2-3 sprays of olive oil

• 1 tsp black pepper

• 1 tbsp soy sauce ( I use coconut amnios or light soy sauce)

• 1 tsp turmeric

• 1 Cinnamon stick

• 1 tbsp chilli sauce of choice

METHOD

• In a pan add the chopped squid and some water ( just to cover the squid), turmeric, pepper and salt

• Boil for about 10 min and set it aside.

• In a skillet add few sprays of oil, onion and the honey and caramelise the onions until golden brown

• Add the garlic, ginger paste, cinnamon stick, green chillies, red chillies and keep sauteeing for about 5-6 min until everything mixed well.

• Add the boiled squid and the chilli sauce; sauté for a further 5-6 min and taste test.

• This is a completely healthy option to the oil and sugar loaded devilled squid you eat at a restaurant

• Taste is amazing as well.
