Squid are usually called “calamari” on restaurant menus because they sell better that way. We’re willing to call a squid a squid because we know it makes quick cooking and great eating. (It makes cheap eating too.) Add chickpeas for heft and kielbasa for smoke, and you’ve got something really interesting in your skillet. A green salad with a vinaigrette completes the meal. Don’t let the squid intimidate you. If you’ve never cooked it, watch the demo. At the fish counter, ask for equal parts bodies and tentacles.
