Mediterranean squid stew
Background
This Mediterranean squid stew is one of our regular meals in my family as itβs incredibly easy to make. I sometimes add spinach or grilled red pepper slices at the end or use chickpeas instead of beans. Also, you can make this dish with precooked/frozen squid or fresh ones, and use other fresh herbs such as basil, mint or coriander - so itβs very versatile.
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 red onion
- 1 clove of garlic
- Couple of pinches of dried chilli flakes
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tin plum tomatoes (400g)
- 1 tin butter beans (400g)
- 300g squid (cleaned and sliced into rings)
- Β½ cup pitted black olives
- Chopped Parsley
- Lemon juice & zest to serve
Instructions
- Finely chop the onion, and slice the garlic.
- Heat the oil in a wide saucepan and gently sautΓ© the onion and garlic until soft. Add the chill flakes and paprika and fry for a few seconds, then add the tomatoes. Simmer gently for 15 minutes.
- Drain then rinse the beans and stir in the sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to the boil, then add the squid. Cover the pan with a lid and gently simmer for 5 minutes.
- When the squid is cooked, add the olives, stir for a minute then mix in the chopped parsley leaves. Taste and adjust the seasoning to your liking.
- Serve with a squeeze of lemon juice and a pinch of lemon zest.
