Method

To marinate calamari, halve hood lengthways. Place oil and oregano in a small bowl, season to taste and stir to combine. Place calamari hoods and tentacles in a large bowl with half oregano mixture, season to taste and toss gently to coat. Marinate for 1 hour.

Meanwhile, for yoghurt and ouzo dressing, combine ingredients in a small bowl, season to taste and stir to combine.

3

Combine tomato and olives in a bowl with remaining oregano mixture. Season to taste and toss to combine.

Preheat a lightly greased barbecue or char-grill pan to high. Thread calamari hoods in an “S” shape onto skewers. Cook skewers and tentacles, turning frequently, until charred and cooked (3-5 minutes).
