Why cooks start here

Colombian Squid Stir-Fry is cooked the way Colombian home tables cooks it — salt judged by hand, fat used generously, and the table set for sharing. This is the home version, written down the way a colombian family cook actually puts it on the table.

Colombian Squid Stir-Fry captures the essence of home cooking in the coastal regions of Colombia, where fresh seafood is plentiful and cherished. This dish is a staple on family tables, especially during weekend gatherings when the sea's bounty is celebrated. Unlike elaborate restaurant versions, this home-style recipe is about simplicity and the joy of cooking without rigid measurements, allowing personal touch to shine through. Expect a lively interplay of tender squid rings with a robust garlic undertone, punctuated by the subtle heat of chili and brightened by a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. The generous use of oil ensures a silky finish, while sea salt balances the flavors, making each bite a burst of freshness. Perfectly suited for communal dining, this dish invites everyone to share and savor together.
