Grilled squid with rouille and chilli

1.Burn down coals on a charcoal barbecue in a pile until embers are ashed over and reduced to medium-high heat (20-30 minutes), then spread embers out in an even layer. Alternatively, preheat a barbecue to medium-high heat.

2.Meanwhile, for rouille, simmer fish stock and saffron in a small saucepan over medium heat to infuse (5 minutes). Remove from heat, add bread, soak until absorbed and cooled (5 minutes). Crush garlic and chilli in a mortar and pestle to a fine paste. Add mustard and tomato paste and stir to combine. Add soaked bread and mash to a paste. Transfer to a bowl, add egg yolk and whisking constantly, add oil in a thin, steady stream until thick and emulsified. Season to taste, add lemon juice to taste and thin with a little water if desired. Makes 300ml; any remaining rouille will keep refrigerated in an airtight container for 4 days.

3.Whisk lemon juice and 3 tsp olive oil in a bowl until emulsified and season to taste. Lightly oil squid with remaining oil and grill, turning, until almost cooked (2 minutes each side). Brush with lemon and oil mixture, then grill for another 10-15 seconds each side until just cooked.

4.Slice squid, keeping its shape intact. Spoon a large dollop of rouille onto plates. Top with squid, drizzle with extra olive oil, scatter with extra chilli and serve with lemon.
