I had this at a restaurant and ran home to figure out how to make it. It's such a delicious and unusual starter for a meal.
Ingredients:
-
1 ½-2 cups
balsamic vinegar
-
1 lb
calamari
, rings uncooked
Directions:
1
Bring a saucepan 3/4 full of water to a boil.
2
Add the squid and cook until just firm (about 2-3 minutes)-do not overcook.
3
Drain and rinse immediately under cold running water.
4
Drain well and set aside.
5
In a saucepan over low heat, simmer the balsamic vinegar (stirring occasionally) until it becomes thick and syrupy.
6
It should reduce to about 1/2 cup or maybe less.
7
Toss the calamari with the balsamic reduction and serve warm.
