Stewed Cuttlefish

This Stewed Cuttlefish recipe is a tasty warm appetizer. Furthermore, it is a recipe of Italian cuisine, which according to the Italian countries, may have a few changes, which differ in the use of spices or in the addition of ingredients. Anyway, it mainly cooks in the same way.

So, it is one of the classic variants of cooking Cuttlefish in tomato sauce, but we can also enrich this recipe with peas or potatoes as we do in the case of stewed Octopus and potato.

The recipe is simple and cooks quickly.

Ingredients

• 2-3 large cuttlefish
• 1 onion
• garlic cloves
• 1 chilly pepper (facultative)
• 400-600 g tomato pulp
• salt, pepper, olive oil
• ½ glass of white wine
• fresh parsley

Directions

1. First, we clean the cuttlefishes. Rinse in running water, drain them from the water, and cut them into strips.
2. Also, we will chop the onion finely.
3. In a non-stick pan, add olive oil and finely chopped onion. We will let it heat up and simmer for a few minutes.
4. Meanwhile, chop the garlic clove and hot pepper and add them to the onion. If you do not prefer the chilly pepper and garlic, do not add.
5. We will cook the onion with the lid covered until it starts to soften, taking care not to burn it at medium temperature. Then add the tomato pulp, little salt, pepper, and let the tomato cook with the onion.
6. Meanwhile, in another pan, add olive oil. Also, add garlic clove and cuttlefish strips.
7. Then, mix until they get a light blush and quench them with white wine. We will leave it until the alcoholic part evaporates.
8. Also, when the onions and tomatoes need a few more minutes to cook rightly, add the cuttlefish. Then, cook them with the lid covered for another 10-15 minutes at low temperature.
9. The onion should not crackle in our mouth at the end. Also, the tomato cooks properly when the fat starts to separate from the sides of the pan.
10. Enjoy this recipe with salt, pepper, fresh parsley.
11. Finally, serve this dish warm, accompanied by toasted bread. Also, it is a tasty pasta sauce.

Bon Appetit!
