SQUID WITH TOMATO AND GREEN PEAS

Steps:

• Put the olive oil and onion into a flameproof casserole.
• Saute over a medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 10 Minutes until it begins to soften and turn golden.
• Add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes, then add the tomatoes and half of the chopped parsley.
• Cook at a gentle simmer for 10-15 minutes until the tomatoes begin to thicken.
• Slice the cleaned squid into 1.
• 5 cm rings.
• Divide the tentacle clusters in half.
• Add to the casserole.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Stir well, cover and simmer gently for 20-30 minutes until the squid is tender.
• Stir in the peas, season again and cook for a few more minutes until they are done.
• Stir in the remaining chopped parsley and serve with plenty of crusty bread to mop up the sauce.

SQUID SAUTE WITH TOMATOES AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Cut the squid into 1/4-inch rings. Wash, dry and place in a mixing bowl.
• Puree the garlic with 1/4 cup of the olive oil in a blender until smooth. Pour over the squid. Add the salt and pepper, tossing to combine.
• Heat a dry medium skillet over high heat. Then add a generous tablespoon of the remaining olive oil and heat until almost smoking. Pour in one-third of the marinated squid and saute about 30 seconds. Stir in one-third each of the tomatoes and cilantro and cook about 2 minutes longer, just until the tomatoes dissolve and the garlic colors slightly. Transfer to a platter, wipe out the skillet and repeat two times. Serve hot over rice or Spinach Pilaf.

SQUID SAUTE WITH TOMATOES AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Cut the squid bodies into 1/4-inch rings. Wash, dry and place in a mixing bowl. Puree the garlic with 1/4 cup of the olive oil in a blender until smooth. Pour over the squid. Add the salt and pepper, tossing well to combine.
• Heat a dry, medium skillet over high heat. Then add a generous tablespoon of the remaining olive oil and heat until almost smoking. Pour in one-third of the marinated squid and saute about 30 seconds. Stir in one-third each of the tomatoes and oregano and cook about 2 minutes longer, just until the tomatoes dissolve and the garlic colors slightly. Transfer to a platter, wipe out the skillet and repeat two times. Serve hot. This dish works best when the squid is sauteed in batches. If the pan gets too crowded, it steams rather than sautes, which toughens the meat. This can be served over rice and beans as an entree, or with flour tortillas as an appetizer.
