Ok... I bought a bag of frozen Calamari steaks. Defrosted them yesterday, coated them with some cilantro salad dressing (which is great on chicken, fyi) and grilled them. I gotta say they taste real boring. Any easy ideas for fixing these chewy things?

Put them on top of a nice juicy steak. :-)

If that doesn't work you could always put them in something like <a href="http://www.recipesource.com/ethnic/asia/thai/squid-salad1.html" target="top">this.</a>

"Pop them on top of a nice juicy steak"

-- was in baltimore at this joint called Aldo's last february... really ritzy place... so i order this fillet mignion dish with a funky name. i ask the waiter what exactly it meant, when it was delivered.

"garnished with cold duck liver"...


moral of the story is: if it needs a nice juicy steak to make it edible, just don't buy it.

btw, duck liver is most definately NOT good... i even tried cooking it on the table's candle for a lil bit, when nobody was looking.

/cackles!

Pate Foie Gras? I rather like the stuff myself! :)

IMO the best calamari is flash fried with red pepeers,tomatoes, onions, greek pepercini and stuffed with motzerela cheeze. served sizling hot.

another way is to just batter them and deep fry, then dip in cocktail sauce.

Ummmmm.... that sounds really good. Come cook for me, k?

My recipy:

Calamari, Garlic, Rucola (no idea whats the engl. name for this lettuce is), cherrytomatoes (those little cute tomatoes), dorito chillia cheese dip (normally used for tacos), white wine, cashew nuts.

Put calamari in fire resistant dish, press the garlic on it. Hack and slash the rucola lettuce and throw it on the calamari. Cut tomatoes into slices and add them. Cover the whole stuff with the dorito cheese dip and fill it up with white wine. Hack the cashew nuts and put them on top. Finally cook it for 20 mins at 180 degrees celsius (convert it by yourself in fahrenheit ;) ) in an oven.

Fast to prepare and delicious!

Like 350 for Farenheit

hmmmm

decided to try find the recipie i was talking about.... haven't found it yet... but found this info on making tender calamari:
