Step cooking
- If you purchased frozen squids, you must first thaw them at room temperature. When they are half-thawed, they must be thoroughly cleaned, all entrails and the chord removed. In total we will use 1 kg of seafood.
- We shift the cleaned squids into a deep bowl. In a teapot, we heat about 2 liters of water and pour the squids with boiling water. We leave to stand seafood in boiling water for several seconds.
- In a separate bowl we collect about 2 liters of cold water. Using a slotted spoon, we take squids out of boiling water and transfer them to cold water. Doing this is necessary so that the squids are well cleaned and have a pleasant light shade.
- We cut each squid and remove the remaining thin films or any insides inside.
- We cut the squid into strips with a thickness of about 1.5-2 cm. You can cut the squid as you like, including rings.
- In a separate bowl we prepare a strong saline solution, in which we marinate the squid. To do this, put 200 g of table salt in a bowl and fill them with 1 liter of water. If you took more squids, then calculate the salt of 200 g per 1 liter. Mix well with a tablespoon.
- We shift the squids in saline and pickle for 5 minutes. We mix seafood periodically so that the salt is evenly distributed.
- After 5 minutes, we shift the squid into a colander so that the glass is excess liquid. Rinse them under running water is not required.
- Sliced and salted squids put on the grid of the dryer.
- We install them in the dryer itself. Set 60 degrees and set to dry for 5 hours. The drying time for squids can be slightly reduced, but it should be at least 3 hours.
- After 3-5 hours, the squid has dried, but has not yet become brittle and brittle. Dried squids are ready to eat.
- From 1 kg of raw squid, approximately 200 g of dried squid is obtained. Squids are moderately salted, but not salted. The consistency is relatively soft and pleasant. This homemade appetizer is perfect for beer.
