Squid with fennel and artichokes

Serves 4

Cooking Time Prep time 20 mins, cook 5 mins



500 gm   baby squid, preferably Hawkesbury
1 head   green garlic (see note)
2   new-season globe artichokes
1 large   lemon (juice of)
1 bulb   fennel, shaved on a mandolin
¾ cup (loosely packed)   flat-leaf parsley leaves
2 tbsp   extra-virgin olive oil


1 Clean squid, reserving tentacles, keeping small squid whole and halving large squid lengthways. Finely slice garlic. Pare back artichokes, remove the choke and slice as finely as possible. Toss with a little lemon juice to prevent discolouration. Combine garlic, artichoke, fennel, parsley, oil and remaining lemon juice in a bowl and season with salt and pepper.
2 Drizzle squid with a little olive oil, season the squid and sear over high heat for 1-2 minutes or until just opaque.
3 Add squid to salad mixture, toss to combine and serve immediately.

Note Green garlic is the mild young plant. Use the bulb and pale part of the stem.
