Do you have a family recipe that disappears at family gatherings? Well this one will. When my brother makes this awesome appetizer we need to make sure we are ready and waiting or we may not get any! (He has started doubling the recipe when he makes it now.) He usually serves the Calamari with endive leaves. It makes a pretty presentation and we use the endive leaves as little spoons to scoop up the calamari and juices. Delicious!
