Summer Squid Saute
- 2 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 pound sugar snap peas, trimmed
- Salt
- Freshly ground pepper
- 4 thin slices of pancetta (1 1/2 ounces), finely diced
- 1 1/4 pounds cleaned, small squidbodies cut into 1/4-inch-thick rings, tentacles left whole
- In a large skillet, heat 1 1/2 tablespoons of the olive oil.
- Add the snap peas, season with salt and pepper and cook over moderately high heat, tossing, until blistered in spots and crisp-tender, about 3 minutes.
- Transfer the snap peas to a bowl.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet along with the pancetta.
- Cook over low heat until the pancetta fat has rendered and starts to brown, about 3 minutes.
- Add the squid, season with salt and pepper, and cook over high heat, tossing, until just cooked, about 2 minutes.
- Return the snap peas to the skillet and toss for about 1 minute.
