for rcipe thats quite different.... try making a curry and cooking it for a very long time. If you cook your squid for more than an hour, then it softens up again. I saute'e my onions and then add curry, coriander, garlic, ginger and pretty much whatever you fancy. Cut the squid into 20mm squares and throw them in. Add a tin of diced tomato and simmer for an hour or more. Eat with rice. I did mine in a "tagine" wich I think makes any meal taste better.
