SPICY CHIPOTLE SAUCE
Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the grated Garlic and fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, shifting constantly. Pour in the wine and leave to simmer for 1-2 minutes until almost evaporated. Add the chopped chillies in adobo (and any sauce), 30ml of water, seasoning, and 5ml of a sweetener of choice. Leave to simmer for 1-2 minutes until slightly reduced.
SMOOTH OPERATOR
When the sauce is done, remove from the pan and place in a blender. Add a splash of water and pulse until smooth. If the sauce is not coming together, add more water as necessary. Set aside.
ICE, ICE BABY!
Pour 100ml of cold water into a bowl with a few ice blocks. When the water is ice-cold, remove any remaining pieces of ice.
TASTY TEMPURA
To make the tempura batter, gradually whisk the flour and a pinch of salt into the bowl of cold water until combined. (Don’t overmix, lumps are fine in this case!) Set up your station by placing the squid heads & tubes, the batter, and a plate covered with paper towel next to the stove. Place a deep pan over high heat with 2cm of oil covering the base. To test if it’s hot, pop in a drop of batter. If it fizzes, it’s ready! Place a handful of squid in the bowl of batter. Using a pair of tongs, gently coat them in the batter and lower into the hot oil. Fry for 30-60 seconds, turning as they colour. Remove from the pan on completion, drain on the paper towel, and season. Do this step in batches.
TOASTY TORTILLAS
Place a pan over medium heat. When hot, dry toast the tortillas for 15 seconds per side until warmed through and lightly crisped. Once heated, stack under a dry tea towel to stop them from getting cold or drying out.
TIME TO DINE
Lay down the toasted tortillas. Smear on the Guacamole and top with the shredded salad leaves and the crispy squid. Drizzle over the chipotle sauce (to taste) and sprinkle over the picked coriander, the lime zest, and the diced tomato. Squeeze over some lime juice and serve with a lime wedge. Tuck in, Chef!
