* Lobster base is a glaze sold in gourmet food shops and some supermarkets
1. Prepare marinade: Thoroughly whisk together all marinade ingredients in a glass or stainless-steel bowl. Add squid pieces and marinate at least 3 hours, stirring occasionally.
2. To make sauce: About 15 minutes before serving time, combine garlic, rosemary, wine, clam juice and lobster base in a non-aluminum saucepan. Bring to a gently simmer over medium heat, then simmer for 4 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in the butter. Keep warm.
3. Remove squid from marinade, draining well. Grill for 4 to 6 minutes, turning as needed, until just firm. (An open grill or a well-heated, ridged grill pan may be used. You may need to use a grill basket to hold the squid pieces if the spaces on your grill are too wide to hold them.)
4. Shake saucepan to recombine sauce if necessary, then add cooked squid. Raise heat to high and cook for 1 minute, stirring to coat all pieces well.
5. Serve with an extra dab of sauce.
Grilled Cardamom Nan Bread Yield: 8 Servings 1 envelope active dry yeast 1 1/4 c lukewarm water (110f-115f) 1 T honey 1 T olive oil + extra 3 1/2 c bread flour 1 T salt 1 T cardamom,Ground
In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in the water and stir in the honey. Let stand until foamy, about 10 minutes. Add the 1 T oil, the flour, salt and cardamom and stir until the dough forms a cohesive mass.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 6 minutes. Divide the dough into 8 pieces and shape each piece into a ball. Set the balls on an oiled baking sheet and brush with oil. Cover loosely with plastic and let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, 1 to 2 hours. (Dough can be refrigerated overnight - punch down balls before proceeding)
On a lightly floured surface, roll out each ball of dough to an 8-inch disk. Arrange them on 3 oiled baking sheets and let rest for 20 minutes.
Light a grill or heat a grill pan or cast-iron skillet. Brush each nan lightly with olive oil and grill for about 1 minute, until golden on the bottom and light bubbles form on the top. Turn and cook until golden all over, about 1 minute. Keep warm while you cook the remaining nan.
