Chickpea and Calamari Inzimino with Swiss Chard
Adapted from Cathy Whims, Nostrana and Oven and Shaker, Portland, OR
Yield: 6 servings
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour, 20 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour, 40 minutes
INGREDIENTS
Beans
1 cup (7-ounces) dried chickpeas, soaked overnight
Salt
Squid
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium red onion, cut into ½-inch dice
1 medium carrot, peeled and cut into ½-inch dice
1 celery stalk, cut into ½-inch dice
2 garlic cloves, minced
½ teaspoon dried red pepper flakes, plus more to taste
¾ pound fresh squid, cleaned, bodies cut into ½-inch rings, tentacles halved lengthwise
½ cup drained and crushed whole canned tomatoes
⅓ cup red wine
2 bunches (about 1 pound) Swiss chard, washed, stemmed and coarsely chopped
1 bunch (about 6 ounces) fresh spinach, washed, stemmed and coarsely chopped
Sea salt

Steps:

  • DIRECTIONS 1. Prepare the beans: Drain the soaked beans. Place in a large pot with enough cold water to cover by 3 inches. Bring to a boil, then simmer until tender, about 30 minutes. Season the bean cooking water to taste. Remove from heat and set aside. 2. While the beans cook, set a large braising pot over medium-low heat and add the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the onion, carrot and celery and sauté until the vegetables are soft but not colored, about 15 minutes. Add the garlic and dried red pepper flakes and sauté until the garlic is fragrant, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the squid, tomatoes and red wine and bring to a boil. Immediately add the Swiss chard and spinach to the pot and boil until the greens begin to wilt. Cover the pot, reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring the stew often, for 30 minutes. Drain the chickpeas from their cooking liquid and add them to the stew. Season to taste with salt and continue cooking for about 15 minutes more, until the squid is tender and the stew has thickened. If the stew still has a lot of liquid, remove the lid, turn the heat up and boil away the excess liquid. Divide the stew between 6 bowls and drizzle each serving with olive oil. Serve with toasted bread that has been rubbed with half of a garlic clove and drizzled with olive oil.

This dish was a bit too time-consuming for my liking. I think I'll try to find a simpler recipe next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dish turned out really bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less chili peppers next time.

The calamari was a bit tough. I think I might try cooking it for a shorter amount of time next time.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less salt next time.

I'm not a huge fan of calamari, but I really enjoyed this dish. The chickpeas and Swiss chard were cooked perfectly and the sauce was very flavorful.

This recipe was easy to follow and the results were delicious. I especially liked the way the Swiss chard wilted down and added a nice bitterness to the dish.
