----------------- For the sauce: ----------------

Instructions:
Instructions: Clean the squid by cutting the body open to make a flat piece.

Scrape out the guts keeping the tentacles in their bunches but removing the eyes and mouth.

Using a serrated knife score the inner side of the flattened squid body with parallel lines 1cm apart and then equally apart the other way to make cross hatching.

To make the sauce put the chopped chilli in a bowl and cover with about 2.5cm of the oil. Season with salt and pepper.

Place the squid (including the tentacles) scored side down on a very hot grill season with salt and pepper and grill for 12 minutes.

Turn the squid pieces over; they will immediately curl up by which time they will be cooked.

Toss the rocket in the Oil and Lemon Dressing.

Arrange a squid body and tentacles on each plate with some of the rocket.

Place a little of the chilli on the squid and serve with lemon quarters.
