    Method

    • Barbecued Calamari With Lime and Chilli – Step by Step Method
    • Rinse calamari tubes under cold water, pat dry, and slice into thick rings or score if leaving whole
    • Peel garlic cloves; finely mince
    • Slice red chillis lengthwise, seed if desired, finely chop
    • Chop coriander leaves and stems finely; reserve half the leaves for garnish
    • In a bowl, juice the lime
    • In a separate small bowl, combine rice wine vinegar, fish sauce, soy sauce, sweet chilli sauce, and palm sugar; whisk until sugar dissolves
    • Add chopped garlic, chilli, coriander stems, and half the lime juice to the marinade
    • Reserve rest of lime juice for salad dressing
    • Place calamari in a large bowl, pour over half the marinade, toss to coat, and let sit for 10–15 minutes
    • Preheat barbecue or grill to high heat while calamari marinates
    • Meanwhile, halve cherry tomatoes, thinly slice red capsicum, peel and slice avocado
    • In a salad bowl, combine rocket leaves, cherry tomatoes, red capsicum, and avocado slices
    • Drizzle salad with remaining lime juice and one tablespoon olive oil, gently toss
    • Once barbecue is hot, lightly oil grill bars with remaining olive oil
    • Using tongs, grill calamari in a single layer for 1–2 minutes per side until just opaque and lightly charred, working in batches if needed
    • Remove calamari from grill and rest for one minute
    • Gently toss grilled calamari through salad or arrange on top
    • Drizzle salad and calamari with remaining half of marinade
    • Scatter reserved coriander leaves over dish
    • Serve immediately while calamari is warm; platter on a wide, shallow dish for vibrant visual appeal and freshness
