Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh squid (cleaned and cut into rings)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 medium Onion (finely chopped)
- 400 grams Canned crushed tomatoes
- 200 grams Green peas (fresh or frozen)
- 100 milliliters Dry white wine
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.25 teaspoons Red chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
Clean the fresh squid thoroughly by removing the head, ink sac, and cartilage. Rinse under cold water and cut the squid into rings. Pat dry with paper towels and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and chopped onion to the pan and sauté until fragrant and softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Pour in the dry white wine and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the alcohol to evaporate and infuse the aromatics.
Add the canned crushed tomatoes and stir to combine. Season with salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes (if using). Simmer the sauce over low heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the cleaned squid rings and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the squid is tender and cooked through. Be careful not to overcook, as squid can turn rubbery if cooked too long.
Add the green peas to the pan and continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring to ensure even cooking.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the dish.
Serve the squid with tomato and peas hot, accompanied by crusty bread or steamed rice to soak up the flavorful sauce.
