Similar Categories: Insalata, Calamari, Gremola, Aioli
Serving Size : 6
3/4 cup dried chickpeas
--soaked overnight, drained, and rinsed
sea salt
1/2 (to 1 cup) fresh bread crumbs
3 large cloves garlic, peeled
2 egg yolks, at room temperature
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
freshly ground black pepper
10 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
5 tablespoons peanut oil
10 cups (about 4 oz.) wild chicory, washed and dried
2 pounds fresh squid
--cleaned, bodies cut into 11/2"-wide rings
--and tentacles left whole
Put chickpeas, 4 cups water, and 1 pinch salt into a small pot and
bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to maintain a gentle
simmer; poach chickpeas until tender, 30-60 minutes, depending on
freshness of chickpeas. Let chickpeas cool in cooking liquid. Drain
chickpeas, reserving liquid.
Preheat oven to 375°F. Toast bread crumbs on a sheet pan in oven
until golden brown, 6-8 minutes.
Smash garlic with the side of a kitchen knife, then crush it to a
coarse paste with a mortar and pestle. Add yolks, 2 tablespoons of
the lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and pepper and stir with the pestle
until mixture is emulsified. Add 8 tablespoons of the olive oil, bit
by bit, stirring constantly with pestle until emulsified, then add 2
tablespoons of the peanut oil and repeat process. The aļoli's
consistency will be loose. Stir in 11/2 teaspoons hot water to
stabilize. Adjust seasonings.
Put chicory into a large bowl. Heat a large skillet over medium-high
heat until very hot. Add one-third of the remaining olive and peanut
oils, swirling them in skillet. Carefully add one-third of the squid
and cook, stirring often, until just cooked through, about 30 seconds.
Transfer to a plate. Repeat process twice with remaining oils and
squid. Add chickpeas and cooking liquid to skillet and bring to a
boil. Add aļoli and cook, stirring until thickened, 6-8 minutes.
Stir in remaining lemon juice. Remove skillet from heat, add squid,
and toss to warm through. Add squid to bowl and chicory and toss
until chicory wilts. Adjust seasonings. Divide salad between 6
plates and scatter bread crumbs on top.
