from the tubes, with oil, crispy garlic and chili

Clean the squid tubes and cut into rings. Bring plenty of water to a boil and add the lemon juice. Add the squid rings to the boiling water and cook until the flesh is translucent. This should take 1-2 minutes at most. Immediately remove the squid from the pot and immerse it in cold water. Drain and season with salt and pepper. In another pot, heat the olive oil until very hot. Add the chopped garlic and simmer vigorously for 30 seconds, then remove from the heat. The garlic will continue to cook. When all the garlic pieces have turned slightly brown, add the deseeded, finely chopped chilies and return to the heat for another 30 seconds. Remove the pot from the heat and continue simmering. When the garlic and chilies are golden brown and crispy, the sauce is ready. Let it cool slightly and pour it over the seasoned squid rings. Season again with salt and pepper, and if desired, garnish with chopped parsley. Serve with warm baguette, ajoli or cocktail sauce, and a salad. The squid salad tastes great warm or cold.
