Nutritious recipe for all occasions - by Amy Sinclair
  • 27 Mar 2019
Simmered Squid
Prep: 20 Minutes - Cook: 75 Minutes - easy - Serves 4
Proudly supported by

This is delicious as a main course served with rice or new potatoes. Or serve as tapas at a drinks party with cocktail sticks and some bread to mop up the juices.

Ingredients

1 tbsp olive oil, plus extra for drizzling

1kg/2lb 4oz prepared squid and tentacles, cleaned and cut into thick rings

2 onions, chopped

3 garlic cloves, sliced

pinch of chilli flakes

1 tsp fennel seeds

3 bay leaves

1 tbsp rosemary, roughly chopped

pinch of sugar

3 tbsp red wine vinegar

400g can chopped tomatoes

large glass of red wine (about 200ml/8fl oz)

TO SERVE

handful chopped coriander

zest ½ orange

Method

  1. Heat the olive oil in a shallow saucepan or flameproof casserole and add the squid, onions and garlic. Add the dry ingredients and simmer until all the liquid has evaporated and the onions are tender, about 15 mins. Add the vinegar and chopped tomatoes, simmer for 1 min, then pour over the red wine and season. Simmer very gently on the lowest heat, stirring occasionally, for 1 hr or until the sauce is rich and the squid is really tender.

  2. Turn off the heat, leave to cool slightly, then drizzle with a little more olive oil and scatter with the coriander and orange zest.
