succulent squid

what you need:
about 1/2 lb squid per person--precleaned, lots of legs, too. (farmer's market!!!!)
ghee or butter (to taste)
olive oil (for marinating)
generous pinches of: oregano, basil, thyme, majoram, s/p, chopped fresh parsley
head of fresh garlic

this dinner takes about ten minutes total LITERALLY:

cut squid bodies WITH SCISSORS (thank you, heather's italian mom) into approx 1 inch strips.
rinse squid in cold water.
combine squid in bowl with enough olive oil to coat and the spices. chop 1-2 fresh garlic cloves and include in bowl.
SLICE as much garlic as moves you-- i recommend at least five cloves.

heat GHEE or butter (ghee is nuttier) in a hefty skillet over high heat until it melts, throw in the sliced garlic and sautee until it begins to brown. toss in squid. allow it to cook, moving it with wooden spoon or spatula, about 1.5 minutes. you want it just the other side of raw. you're done.

serve: with simple greens salad, any basic rice... wine highly recommended.

please note: this will probably work crappily on an electric stove.
