1. Clean, score and cut the calamari into thin rounds. Reserve the tentacle and wings too. 2. Place the oregano, garlic, capers, lemon zest, salt and pepper and 2 tablespoons of olive oil into a bowl. Add calamari and coat well and set aside to marinate for 10-15 minutes. 3. Place the onions in a small bowl with a little pinch of salt and scrunch together. Reserve for later. 4. Preheat an Optigrill on high heat. Cook for 3-4 minutes until charred and tender. Slice into smaller bite size pieces. 5. Toss the tomato, onion and cucumber with vinegar and remaining oil. Season with salt. Now add the charred calamari, and toss one final time. Arrange on a platter with a little crumbled feta on top.
