“A really delicious and authentic stew of squid in a red wine sauce. This is great served with boiled long-grain rice or french fries. Good for a special occasion.” - by MARIA157

Ingredients

2 pounds squid - tentacles and tubes, cleaned and cut into chunks
2 medium onions, finely chopped
2 bay leaves
5 whole cloves
1 (3 inch) cinnamon stick
2 cups dry red wine
1/3 cup olive oil
1/3 cup malt vinegar
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Hide Checklist

Directions

Place the squid and onions into a large saucepan with the cinnamon stick, cloves, and bay leaves. Cover, and simmer over low heat for about 10 minutes. During this time the squid will release its juices. Uncover the pan, and simmer until the juice has mostly evaporated. Remove the cinnamon stick, cloves, and bay leaves.
Stir in the wine, olive oil, malt vinegar and pepper. Cover and cook over low heat for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally. If necessary, remove the lid shortly before the end of cooking to allow the sauce to thicken. Ladle into bowls to serve.

"Although i found the cooking time needed to reduce the sauce was longer than stated, it was WELL WORTH the time it took. It turned out absolutely sublime, the sauce was very piquant and flavourful. I ..." See morethrew some chopped cilantro on the top to serve, and some creamy mashed potato on the side and it was awesome, my husband, who is a big seafood lover, was very impressed. This one is a keeper, I will definately be making it again. Thank you Maria, for a truly awesome recipe!!"

"Didn't dare to use cinnamon and cloves and couldn't find malt vinegar. I used instead balsamic vinegar and it was really tasty...." See more"

"The sauce was wonderful -- it was great on rice, and I think it would be great on a bunch of different items. The squid was also quite good -- I've never cooked squid myself, and I was a little nervo..." See moreus, but everything went very well. My only problem is that the smell of squid stuck to EVERYTHING. That's what I get for cooking in a studio apartment... Seriously, it's been weeks, and I can still pick up a hint of squid sticking to the walls in my place. It's awful!"
