Grilled Squid with Wilted Spinach and Butter

Split the squids into 2 pieces each, then mark them with a sharp knife in 2 crossing way around ½ cm between the lines. Marinate with chilli oil, garlic, tarragon, MAGGI® Chicken Bouillon Less Salt and leave to marinate for 2 hours.

Dip the spinach in boiling water for 10 seconds and then refresh in cold water. Strain and keep it covered in a warm place until all the water drain outs.

Heat a frying pan on high heat until it becomes very hot, and cook the squid in small batches. De-glaze the pan with ½ cup of water after every batch and put in a small sauce pot, so you will be cleaning your pan and keeping some sauce for topping at the same time.

Reheat the sauce; adjust the seasoning with lime juice and ground pepper. Remove from heat and add the butter while stirring. Place the spinach in a serving platter and then place the squid on top and finally the sauce. Garnish with lemon wedges and serve hot.
