Preparation Steps
1
Thoroughly clean the squid: remove the innards, head, and skin, then slice into rings.
2
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the squid rings for 1-2 minutes, or until just tender. Drain and let cool.

In a sterilized jar, layer the squid rings with thinly sliced red onion and garlic cloves.
4
In a saucepan, bring the vinegar, water, brown sugar, salt, bay leaves, black peppercorns, mustard seeds, and dill to a boil. Let cool to room temperature.
5
Pour the cooled brine over the squid rings, then add freshly squeezed lemon juice for extra flavor.

Seal the jar and refrigerate for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
