Squid in a spicy tomato sauce
I love squid and always snap some up when I stumble across it. I have three or four go-to squid recipes, and this (adapted from Gino d'Campo) is one of them. Delicious, meltingly soft squid in a spicy tomato sauce.

Ingredients
- SERVES 2
- 2 Fresh Squid, cleaned, quill removed (ask your fishmonger to do this, if not done already) and cut into 1cm thick rings
- 3 Cloves of garlic, peeled and crushed
- 1 tablespoon Chilli Flakes
- 2 tablespoon Capers, rinsed and drained
- 100 g Pitted Green Olives, drained and cut in half
- 250 ml White Wine
- 2 400g tins of chopped tomatoes
- 3 tablespoon Chopped Fresh Parsley
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Method
one. Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over a gentle heat and fry the garlic, chilli, capers and olives for 30 seconds.
two. Add the squid and fry for a further 8 minutes so that the water is released. Stir with a wooden spoon.
three. Pour in the wine and continue to cook for a further 2 minutes, allowing the alcohol to evaporate. Tip in the chopped tomatoes and bring to the boil. Lower the heat, mix in the parsley and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
four. Season and serve (according to Gino with an obligatory glass of Italian red wine)
Serving Suggestion. Some bread for mopping; a nice salad and an obligatory glass of Italian red wine.
