This dish has sour-sweet notes: the sourness of the lemon and the sweetness of the apricots combine with the squid in a symphony of flavours.  A touch of music for the palate!

Method

Cut the squid into strips. Dip them in the breadcrumbs, add a few drops of colatura di alici (anchovy extract) and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Bake them in a pre-heated oven at 200° C for 3 minutes.   

Prepare a dressing for the apricots by mixing finely-chopped fresh basil, lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil. 

Compose the dish by putting a lettuce leaf on each plate and then a circle of sliced apricots, drizzled with the basil and lemon juice dressing, and place the squid on top of the lettuce leaf. Enjoy!
