    Preparation Steps

    1

    Thoroughly clean the squid: remove the innards, head, and skin, then cut into rings.

    2

    Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the squid rings for 1-2 minutes, until just tender. Drain and let cool.

    3

    In a sterilized jar, layer the squid rings with thinly sliced red onion, garlic cloves, and finely chopped chili peppers.

    4

    In a saucepan, bring to a boil the vinegar, water, brown sugar, salt, bay leaves, black peppercorns, mustard seeds, caraway seeds, coriander seeds, and dill. Let cool to room temperature.

    5

    Pour the cooled brine over the squid rings, then add freshly squeezed lemon juice for extra flavor.

    6

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

    7

    Let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 48 hours before consumption to allow the flavors to fully develop.
