Italian stewed calamari recipe
Stewed calamari are an undeniably sensational fish dish. The sea scent of the squid mingles with the earthy scent of the tomatoes like never before.
Ingredients
Tomato sauce
- 1 clove of garlic
- 800 g peeled tomatoes
- olive oil
Squid
- 1 kg cleaned squid
- 1/3 glass of white wine
- salt and chilli pepper
- chopped parsley
Instructions
- First prepare the tomato sauce: fry a clove of garlic in a large pan with plenty of oil.
- Then crush the peeled tomatoes with a fork and pour them into the pan.
- Cook on a low flame for about 30 minutes. Finally, add salt and, if you like, a pinch of chilli pepper.
- In the meantime, prepare the squid: remove the skin and then cut into 1-2 cm strips. Wash the strips and then drain them.
- In another frying pan, fry a clove of garlic in plenty of oil and when golden brown, fry the squid for a few minutes, or until the tentacles have curled up.
- Pour in 1/3 glass of wine and let it evaporate.
- Now transfer the squid to the tomato sauce.
- Add salt and, if you like, a pinch of chilli pepper.
- Cover with a lid and cook over a low heat for 10 minutes.
- Finally, sprinkle with a handful of chopped parsley and enjoy hot, perhaps with a few slices of toasted bread!
