x213 THE BEAST: PART TWO OF TWO (02/25/99)

SQUIDHEADS PT. II
Directed by Jeff "Chris Reeve in a made-for-TV remake sounds faaaantastic" Bleckner
Written by Peter "I blew my load on Jaws" Benchley and J.B. "House of Frankenstein 1997" White
Produced by Peter Benchley, Julie "Ladykiller" Cohen, Michael R. "Atomic Train" Joyce, Judith Craig "Bingo!" Marlin, Tana "Ted" Nugent, and Dan "The Hunt for the Unicorn Killer" Wigutow

MOVIE
When last we left our intrepid heros, they were celebrating a premature victory over "The Beast," which was really a giant squid, or at least the child of a really, really, really giant squid. The baby squid, being held in a giant playpen built by the town in hopes of raking in cash from tourists, cries for its mother, which eventually comes after eating a sperm whale and causes more havoc with boats and phallic looking submarines. Thankfully, our stereotyped Japanese character materializes on scene with his trusty "Rising Sun" bandanna and kow-tows to everyone, at least when he's not swinging his samurai sword around and taking photos of the scenic landscape. Realizing the true severity of this new and larger threat, he uses a magical pendant he wears to summon Mecha-IronChef. There's a long battle involving lots of wire work, miniatures, and seizure inducing graphics, the battle's highlight being the Chef Sakai controlled arm being hesitant to deal with the live squid. Eventually, the Mecha-IronChef wins with the patented Chin cleaver drop and the town has a feast in honor of the newly blossomed sakuras.

"I hope they make out all right."
"I slipped her a big mickey."

"IF MEMORY SERVES ME RIGHT..."

Aside from killing the giant squid and protecting our movie's town, Mecha-IronChef leaves a wonderful wake of good food and good times. In the giant squid battle, Mecha-IronChef offered up 6 tantalizing dishes. Below, a look at these dishes and how you can prepare them in your own home.

Fried Giant Squid
serves 400

Ingredients:

200 pounds of squid, cut into giant rings
400 tablespoons of cornmeal
450 eggs, slightly beaten
300 cloves of garlic, mashed
225 cups of bread crumbs
1 barrel of olive oil
Directions:

Coat the squid rings in corn meal. Then dip them into a mixture of the eggs and garlic. Lastly, dip them into the bread crumbs, coating them well, and shaking off any excess. Heat the oil to just below the smoking point and fry the rings until they are golden and crispy. Remove and drain on beach towels. Serve with tartar, garlic-mayonnaise, or marinara sauce.

Giant Squid Stuffed with Clams and Scallops
serves 400

Ingredients:

250 pounds of squid, cut into rings
100 large shallots, minced
125 garlic cloves, minced
100 tablespoons of unsalted butter
250 teaspoons of sun dried tomatoes
150 cups of clams and scallops
1/4 barrel of dry white wine
100 tablespoons of chopped parsley
100 cups of bread crumbs
120 eggs
1/4 barrel of tomato sauce
thyme and pepper to taste
Directions:

Preheat oven to 350F. Saute shallots and garlic in butter over medium heat in a heavy skillet until soft. Add tomatoes, tentacles, clams, scallops, wine, parsley, thyme, and pepper, stirring over medium heat. Remove from heat and stir in bread crumbs and eggs. Spoon stuffing mix into squid rings, tie ends closed with kitchen string or toothpicks and arrange in a single layer on a baking dish. Cover and bake until tender.

Giant Squid Salad
serves 600

Ingredients:

300 pounds of squid
175 cloves of garlic, (125) crushed and (50) chopped fine
125 Thai hot peppers, chopped
200 cups of onions, thinly sliced
1/4 barrel of lime juice
75 cups of fresh mint, shredded
75 cups of cilantro leaves, shredded
150 cups of fish sauce
200 teaspoons of sugar
200 teaspoons of salt
300 heads of lettuce, shredded
Directions:

Bring 1 barrel of water to a boil in a large pot. Cut the squid into 1 inch slices and add to the boiling water, stirring occasionally. Cook the squid just until the water comes back to a boil. Do not overcook as squid has a tendency to get tough and chewy when overcooked. Drain immediately. Combine the remaining ingredients except the lettuce in a serving bowl large enough to hold the squid. Add the hot, drained squid and toss until well mixed. Set aside, stirring occasionally so that the dish can develop flavor. When ready to serve, add the mixture to lettuce.

Spaghetti with Giant Squid Balls
Serves 600

Ingredients:

3 barrels of extra virgin olive oil
150 white onions, chopped
250 garlic cloves, bruised
175 fresh sprigs marjoram
125 cups of chopped flat leaf parsley
1000 anchovy fillets
300 pounds of squid (tube and tentacles), chopped
75 pounds of pancetta, cut into small cubes
450 egg whites
325 cups of bread crumbs
200 teaspoons of sea salt
3/4 barrel of dry Italian white wine
180 cups of tomato puree from fresh peeled whole tomatoes
1/4 barrel of squid ink
1 1/2 barrels of water
180 pounds of dry spaghetti
Directions:

Heat 1 barrel of olive oil in a massive skillet over medium-high heat. Saute 100 onions, 210 garlic cloves, 125 marjoram sprigs, 90 cups parsley, and 700 anchovy fillets until the onions becomes translucent. Let cool and remove the marjoram sprigs. Pulse the squid and the pancetta in small batches in a food processor. Add the egg whites and pulse again to mix. Place the mixture in a bowl and stir in the bread crumbs, salt and cooled onion mixture. Form into tennis ball sized balls. Heat 1 barrel of olive oil in a huge skillet over medium-high heat and brown the squid balls. They don't need to be cooked all the way through as they will finish cooking in the sauce.

Heat 1 barrel of olive oil over medium high heat. Saute 50 onions, 40 garlic cloves, 50 marjoram sprigs, 35 cups parsley, 300 anchovy fillets until the onions becomes translucent. Add the wine and cook until reduced by half. Add tomato puree and squid ink, then stir well. Add the squid balls to the sauce and simmer for about one-half hour. Taste for seasoning.

Bring a large pot of boiling salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti until almost al dente. Bring the meatballs back to a simmer, add the spaghetti and let simmer over medium high heat in the sauce until the pasta is done and the sauce has reduced enough to coat the noodles.

300 tomatoes, sliced
200 pounds of feta cheese, shredded
325 tablespoons of oregano

fresh ground pepper to taste
Directions:

Cover the inside of the squid with salt and oregano and stuff it with the tomato and cheese. Close the open sides of the squid with a toothpick. Roast it in an oven and spread olive oil on the squid to prevent burning. After roasting, spread some salt, pepper, and oregano over the squid.
