Landon's Grilled Tako


Landon's recent fishing/diving expeditions have yielded us with tako as well as fish.  Score, yah!

Here is how he prepared a tako recently.  And as usual with Landon's recipes, proportions are in "eyeball" amounts.

1.  Lomi lomi the tako with Hawaiian salt.  Rinse well.
2.  Simmer for 1 1/2 hours in red wine, a sprig of rosemary and some bay leaves.
3.  Make marinade: Heat olive oil, garlic, crushed red peppers, and salt.
4.  Marinate for 3 days in 'fridge.

5.  Cut into pieces and grill.

So cooking it that long makes it tender? What's lomi lomi? I love tako, I usually order tako sushi at sushi restaurant.

jalna said...

Not sure if it's the length of time or the wine, or maybe both that tenderizes it, Susan. Lomi lomi is like squooshing, squooshing, squooshing it. There is even a massage that's called lomi lomi massage, LOL!
