Orange-flavored baked squids with puree of green beans

15 minutes to prepare Serves 4



Squid game

 


Today's recipe is an incredible dish featuring orange-flavored baked squids and creamy green beans' puree for something simple, yet very delicious.
Not only does it look and taste impressive (I took the idea from a recent visit to a local restaurant), it takes no time at all to rustle up. The recipe might seem difficult at first glance, yet the steps are simple. Enjoy!


Here are ingredients for a 4-serving recipe:

 


500 g fresh green beans
1 onion
400 g squids
1 potato 
1 orange fruit
1 fistful breadcrumbs   
EVO oil
salt and pepper

  1. Place a large pan on a medium heat with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Peel and finely slice the onion, then add to the pan and cook for 2 minutes or until golden
  2. Add fresh beans, chopped, and the potato, cubed. Add half a liter of water and go on with the cooking for 20 minutes
  3. Meanwhile, clean the squids: run a sharp knife down the length of squid tubes and open each one out like a book. Then, cut them into 2-cm rings
  4. Preheat a pan, then add one tablespoon of EVO oil. When the oil is hot, add the squids and the orange juice, and cook for 20 minutes, or until soft
  5. When the 20-minutes time has passed for the green beans, add a pinch of salt and blend everything until you obtain a creamy puree. Keep warm
  6. Prepare the breadcrumbs: heat few tablespoons of EVO oil and bake the breadcrumbs until golden
  7. Serve the green beans puree with baked squids dipped into it. Add 1 tablespoon of EVO oil and freshly ground pepper on top. Finally, top with breadcrumbs and grated orange
