Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup coarsely chopped blanched hazelnuts or almonds
  • 2 Tbsp. plus 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • divided
  • Kosher salt
  • 4 large red bell peppers
  • 2 Tbsp. sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp. hot smoked Spanish paprika
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • divided
  • 1 1/2 lb. cleaned squid
  • bodies and tentacles separated
  • 1/2 small red onion
  • very thinly sliced
  • 1 cup mint leaves
  • torn if large
  • 1/2 lemon

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F.

  2. 2

    Toast hazelnuts on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing once, until golden brown, 7–10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Let cool, then crush nuts using the side of a chef’s knife or coarsely chop.

  4. 4

    Transfer to a small bowl.

  5. 5

    Mix in 2 Tbsp. oil and season with salt.

  6. 6

    Prepare a grill for high heat and place a wire rack on one side, orienting it perpendicular to grill grate.

  7. 7

    Place bell peppers directly on grate (not on wire rack) and grill, turning occasionally, until charred all over and flesh is very soft, 8–10 minutes.

  8. 8

    Transfer bell peppers to a medium bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap.

  9. 9

    Let sit 10–20 minutes (doing this extends the cooking and softens the skins).

  10. 10

    Remove skins from peppers and scoop out seeds; discard.

  11. 11

    Tear or slice peppers into large pieces and place in a clean medium bowl.

  12. 12

    Add vinegar, paprika, and 1/4 cup oil and finely grate 1 garlic clove into bowl.

  13. 13

    Season with salt and toss well to coat peppers.

  14. 14

    Return grill to high heat.

  15. 15

    Finely grate remaining 2 garlic cloves into a large bowl; stir in remaining 1/4 cup oil.
