Paillard Of Squid Food

PAILLARD OF SQUID

Steps:

• Using a sharp knife, cut each squid sac open and lie it flat. Cut deep slices across the meat in one direction, but do not cut through the flesh. Peel off the skin. Repeat in the opposite direction to create perfect squares. Set aside. Combine the citrus juices, onion, garlic, jalapeno and ginger in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add the squid. Toss to combine. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 4 hours.
• Combine the Sherry vinegar and grated orange rind in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Whisk in the olive oil. Add all the peppers, carrots, pomegranate seeds, scallions, parsley and mint. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Grill the squid over hot coals until cooked through, about 3 minutes. Add to the salad and toss. Serve immediately.

PAILLARD OF CHICKEN WITH LEMON & HERBS

Steps:

• Place each chicken breast between 2 sheets of cling film or baking parchment. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to bash each piece of chicken - flatten out to an even layer about 0.5cm thick. Transfer to a dish.
• To make the marinade, crush the garlic with a good pinch of salt using a pestle and mortar. Add the rosemary and sage, and give everything a good pounding. Stir through the lemon zest and juice, olive oil and some ground black pepper. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring that it's well coated. Cover and chill for at least 2 hrs.
• Heat the barbecue. Once the flames have died down, spread the coals out to an even layer. Cook the chicken for 1-2 mins each side. Transfer to a board and leave to rest for a few mins.
• Meanwhile, pour the oil and balsamic vinegar into a large bowl. Add the rocket and some seasoning. Toss together, then shave over the Parmesan. Serve the salad with the chicken, with lemon wedges to squeeze over.
