Squid Ink Chicken Wings Recipes

SQUID INK CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Add 3/4 cup of beer, 2 cloves of grated garlic, white pepper, 1 tablespoon of grated ginger, Sambal Oelek, and salt to a large glass bowl. Whisk to combine.
• Add the chicken wings and toss. Cover and refrigerate for 3 hours to overnight.
• Attach a thermometer to a heavy-bottomed Dutch oven and add enough canola oil to come up about 3-inches high. Heat to 350 degrees F.
• Meanwhile, add the rice flour and cornstarch to a large bowl and whisk to combine.
• Toss the marinated wings in the flour mixture. Be sure to allow any extra marinade to drip off before adding to the flour. Toss to coat.
• Carefully add the coated wings to the hot oil using metal tongs. Fry for 10 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Meanwhile, add the remaining beer, rice wine vinegar, miso paste, honey, squid ink, soy sauce, 2 cloves grated garlic, and remaining 1 tablespoon of grated ginger to a large pan over medium heat. Whisk to combine and let simmer for 8-10 minutes until reduced to about half.
• Carefully remove the cooked wings and add to a large bowl. Add hot sauce over the wings and toss until coated. Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with sesame seeds and cilantro.

RISOTTO NERO WITH SQUID

Steps:

• Put olive oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add half the diced onion and cook, stirring, until softened and barely colored, about 5 minutes. Season generously with salt and pepper, then add garlic, saffron and red pepper and cook for 1 minute more.
• Add squid bodies and tentacles, stir well to coat and season with salt. Add tomato, bay leaf and 1/4 cup white wine. Add 1 cup water and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes, then stir in squid ink. Simmer for 10 minutes more, until squid is tender. Taste and adjust seasoning. Set aside.
• Melt butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Add remaining onion, season with salt and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add rice, stir to coat, and cook for 2 minutes more.
• Keeping heat brisk, add remaining 1/4 cup wine and 2 cups of the broth and simmer, stirring, until most of the liquid has been absorbed. Add another cup broth and cook for 5 minutes, stirring. Add the last cup of broth and all of the squid mixture. Cook, stirring, for 5 to 7 minutes more, until rice is just done. Taste and adjust seasoning.
• Add a little more broth, as necessary, to keep rice moist and loose, but not too soupy. Stir in lemon zest and parsley, then spoon into warm shallow soup bowls. Drizzle with a little olive oil and serve immediately.
