Hi again! Today I've been cooking this traditional dish for you. Squid is part of our Mediterranean diet. In Spain we usually fry battered squid rings, or we prepare this homemade stew. The secret to get a soft result and keep the natural flavour of squid is that it has to be cooked for just a few seconds, in the case of fried rings, or for a long time over a low heat whenever we cook a stew.
For this recipe you will need 2 whole fresh cleaned squids. I've cleaned the squids myself because it only takes a couple of minutes, although your fishmonger can do it for you. However you can use frozen, cleaned squid as well.
Ingredients:
(Serves 4)
2 whole fresh squids (about 800g)
2 cloves of garlic
Half an onion
1 red pepper
200 ml of white wine
1 tomato
100 ml. extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoonful of ground paprika
Salt
6 white potatoes
200 g. of peas
Difficulty and cooking time:
Easy
1 hour and 20 minutes
Method:
Chop the garlic, onion and the red pepper.
Put the extra virgin olive oil in a large pot over a low heat, add the chopped garlic, onion and pepper, a little salt, and stir- fry for about 5 minutes.
In the meantime clean the squids, removing guts and rinsing well with cold water.(Keep the tentacles because they are very tasty). Cut the squid making rings.
When the onion and pepper are done add the squid.
Salt to taste and cook over a low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile peel and chop the tomato.
Put the diced tomato in the pot with the squid.
Add the ground paprika.
Pour the white whine, stir thoroughly, cover with lid and cook over a low heat for 30 minutes.
Peel, wash and dice the potatoes.
Salt potatoes to taste and put them in the pot over a high heat with the squid.
Add the peas and bring to the boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
Serve it very hot, especially in winter.
I hope you like it!
See you soon.
