Florian from Begur made me this dish with his catch of the day. He put the calamari on the plancha, and I remember we just sat in his garden on that glorious spring day and ate the lot! Such wonderful hospitality. The picture opposite is of Florian’s recipe – it tasted as incredible as it looks!I’ve added a few more ingredients here and I think they’re a match made in heaven.— José Pizarro, author of Catalonia
