Method

Step 1 of 5

Cut down the side of the squid so that it can be laid flat on a chopping board. Using a sharp knife, lightly score the inside flesh in a crisscross pattern, which will help to tenderize it, and cut into bite-sized pieces.

Step 2 of 5

Put the squid pieces in a shallow non-reactive bowl. Mix together the lime rind, cumin, piri piri seasoning, red chilli, sea salt, garlic and oil in a small bowl, then rub into the squid. Cover and leave to marinate for 10-15 minutes.

Step 3 of 5

Meanwhile, using a mandolin, finely shred the cucumber and set aside.

Step 4 of 5

Heat a nonstick, ridged griddle pan until smoking hot. Remove the squid from the marinade, add to the griddle pan and cook for no more than 2 minutes on each side, pushing the squid down with the back of a fish slice, until it is just cooked through. Transfer to a large shallow bowl.

Step 5 of 5

Add the cucumber and chopped herbs to the bowl and toss to mix well. Serve immediately, with a drizzle of extra olive oil and lime wedges, if liked.
