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!
