    Ingredients

    • 1kg calamari tubes
    • 1 bunch coriander
    • 1 lime
    • 3 cloves garlic
    • 2 long red chillis
    • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
    • 2 tablespoon fish sauce
    • 1 tablespoon palm sugar
    • 1 tablespoon salt-reduced soy sauce
    • 1 tablespoon sweet chilli sauce
    • 120g of baby rocket leaves
    • 1 red capsicum, thinly sliced
    • 1 large avocado, thinly sliced
    • 125g cherry tomatoes, cut in half
    • 2 tablespoon olive oil

    Method

    • Using a large bowl, squeeze the lime and add the finely chopped chilli. Add the coriander, including the vinegar, palm sugar and sauces, then stir well.

    • Cut the calamari tubes along one side and open them out flat. Make a shallow diamond pattern over the inside of the tubes then cut into large pieces.

    • Add the cut calamari to the marinade, thoroughly combining the liquid mixture, and cover for an hour.

    • While the barbecue hot plate is being heated over medium heat, on a different platter, arrange the rocket leaves, capsicum, sliced avocado and cherry tomatoes and drizzle with oil.

    • Cook calamari on the hot plate for 3 minutes or until slightly charred and squid is cooked through. Do not overcook!

    • Then transfer to a platter.

    • Serving Suggestions: Serve with a green salad and garnish with coriander.
