Grilled Calamari Steaks With Olive And Bean Salad
- 1 can (14 oz.) white beans, rinsed and drained
- 3/4 cup mixed olives, such as Castelvetrano and kalamata, drained, rinsed, pitted, and chopped
- 1 celery stalk, diced
- 1 green onion, chopped
- 1 anchovy fillet, minced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/2 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped
- 2 tablespoons capers, drained, rinsed, and chopped
- 1 teaspoon red chile flakes
- 1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
- 1 1/4 teaspoons pepper, divided
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 4 calamari steaks (5 oz. each), thawed
- 1 lemon, quartered
- Heat a grill to high (450u0b0 to 550u0b0). Meanwhile, make olive salad: Combine beans, olives, celery, green onions, anchovy, garlic, parsley, capers, chile flakes, 1/4 tsp. each salt and pepper, the lemon juice, and 4 tbsp. oil in a medium bowl. Set aside until ready to serve.
- Brush calamari all over with remaining 1 tbsp. oil and season with remaining 1 tsp. each salt and pepper. Grill over high heat (covered if using gas) until grill marks form, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook on other side until just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Serve steaks with olive and bean salad, with lemon wedges on the side.
