Happy Sunday Sweet Cookies!!!!!!!!!!!!
I had some odds and ends, like fresh cilantro and such, to use well up; and so I decided to smoke calamari and have a tasty safari...
And so I took some calamari - about half bodies/half tentacles - and mopped them through grapeseed oil...
And then got my little gas smoker ready, with pistachio shells instead of wood chips...
And I smoked the calamari atop some grapeseed oiled "grill grates"...
For ten minutes on high heat...
And then layered that in with a chopped mango, chopped fresh cilantro, chopped tomato, chopped raw shallot, and then some olive oil, apple cider vinegar and red Hawaiian sea salt, and it was superb!!!!
A simple and healthful salad, (oh and an avocado was in there too - almost forgot), and it was just lovely!
Smoked calamari gives it a softer taste - no rubbery tough stuff going on and no need to be breaded or fried! Fantastic method!
A simple Sunday and too, "Paddy's Day" eve; but I do send you "Lucky" cheer indeed, nonetheless!
Happy all! Make you day delicious and thanks for sharing in this little taste!
Cheers! - Leah
