SQUID IN RED WINE SAUCE



Squid in Red Wine Sauce image

Categories     Bread     Sauce     Wine     Braise     Squid     Simmer

Yield makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
5 garlic cloves, crushed
2 pounds cleaned squid, the bodies cut up if large
1 cup fruity red wine, like Côtes-du-Rhône
Several fresh thyme sprigs or 1 teaspoon dried
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Put 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large skillet that can later be covered and turn the heat to medium-high. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until lightly browned. Add the squid and stir, then lower the heat and add the wine. Stir, add the thyme, and cover.
  • Cook at a slow simmer until the squid is tender, about 45 minutes. Uncover, season to taste, raise the heat, and cook until most but not all of the liquid has evaporated. Stir in the remaining olive oil, garnish if you like, and serve.
  • Variations
  • Add fennel seeds or crushed red chiles to alter the flavor entirely, or try one of these additions:
  • Squid in Red Wine Sauce with Potatoes: Add some crisp-sautéed potatoes or croutons of bread to the finished dish for a contrasting texture.
  • Squid in Red Wine Sauce with Tomatoes: Add a few chopped tomatoes (canned are fine) to make the sauce a bit thicker and more plentiful. In this case, you might as well serve the dish over pasta.
  • Squid
  • Almost all squid is sold so clean it just needs a quick rinse to be ready for cutting up and cooking; some of it is even sold cut into rings. To make it even more convenient, squid, like shrimp, is one of those rare seafoods whose quality barely suffers when frozen, so you can safely tuck a two-pound bag in the freezer and let it sit for a month or two, defrosting it the day you're ready to cook. (Like shrimp, it will defrost quickly and safely when covered with cold water.)

CALAMARI IN RED WINE AND TOMATO SAUCE



Calamari in Red Wine and Tomato Sauce image

Italian Christmas eve favorite - use your favorite spaghetti or tomato sauce as the base. This recipe can be doubled or tripled easily. Serve as a side, appetizer, or over pasta. Buon Natale!

Provided by NCANGELONE

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     Italian

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds calamari, cleaned
4 cups tomato sauce
1 cup Chianti wine
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons chopped garlic
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon dried basil
⅓ cup grated Romano cheese

Steps:

  • Separate the tentacles from the long body of the calamari, if not done already. Slice the body, or calamari tubes into rings about 1/2 to 2/3 inch thick, set aside.
  • In a saucepan, combine tomato sauce, red wine, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, black pepper, cayenne pepper, basil, and cheese. Simmer on medium low for about 30 minutes to give the alcohol in the wine time to evaporate, and all the flavors time to blend.
  • Add the calamari to the sauce. Continue to slowly simmer for about another 20 - 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Calamari is done when it is plump and more opaque. Do not cook on higher heat or for a longer period, as calamari is famous for becoming rubbery.

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, smashed
Pinch red chile flakes
3 Roma tomatoes, diced
4 sprigs fresh oregano, leaves chopped, some reserved for garnish
Kosher salt
1/4 cup white wine
1 1/2 pounds squid, cleaned, skin removed, bodies cut into 1/4-inch rings, tentacles reserved for another use
1 recipe Chef Anne's All-Purpose Pasta Dough with Squid Ink, see recipe, rolled into pasta sheets and hand cut into tagliatelle
Grated parm, for sprinkling
Big fat finishing oil, for drizzling

Steps:

  • Add the olive oil, smashed garlic and red chile flakes to a large saute pan. Turn the heat to medium-high and allow the garlic to become fragrant and the oil heated. Once heated, add the tomatoes and oregano, and season with salt. Stir to combine. Cook until the tomatoes release their water, 2 to 3 minutes. Deglaze the pan with the white wine. Cook until the wine is bubbling and has begun to reduce, about 1 minute. Add the squid, stir to combine, and cook until the squid becomes opaque in color--be careful not to overcook it! Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the tagliatelle and cook for about 2 minutes. Remove the pasta from the water and add it directly to the sauce along with about 2 tablespoons of the pasta water, some more oregano, some grated parm and a drizzle of big fat finishing oil. Gently toss to combine.
  • Plate and garnish with more grated parm.
