Time 12m

Yield 4 to 6 servings, about 6 cups

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, cut in 1/2
1 3/4 cups tomato sauce
1 cup white wine
1 teaspoon fresh chopped thyme leaves
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds calamari (squid), bodies thinly sliced and tentacles whole
4 to 6 slices of bread
Olive oil, for drizzling
2 to 3 whole cloves garlic

Steps:

  • For the Calamari Stew: Warm the olive oil over medium heat in a medium pot. Add the garlic and let cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Remove the garlic. Add the tomato sauce, white wine, thyme, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Add the calamari and stir to combine. Continue to cook until the mixture comes back up to a simmer, about 2 more minutes. Serve immediately with the Garlic Toasts.
  • For the Garlic Toast: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Meanwhile, drizzle the bread slices with olive oil. Toast until the bread is crisp and turning golden brown, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and rub the top of the toasts with whole garlic cloves. Serve immediately with the Calamari Stew.

This recipe was a bit too time-consuming for me, but the end result was worth it. The calamari was tender and the sauce was delicious. I will definitely be making this again, but I'll probably use a slow cooker next time.
