Steps:
- Cut the squid pouch into 1/2" slices, cut the tentacles into lengths of approx 2". If using frozen squid rings, defrost and drain fully before using.
- Heat the oil in a flameproof casserole; fry the onion and garlic gently until soft. Add the squid, increase the heat and continue to cook for about 10 minutes until sealed and beginning to colour lightly.
- Add the bell peppers, rosemary and stock; bring to the boil. Cover and simmer gently for 45 minutes.
- Discard the sprigs of rosemary but leave any leaves that have come of them.
- Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, seasonings and paprika. Continue to simmer gently for around 45-55 minutes - or cover the casserole tightly and cook in a moderate oven (180°C/350°F) for 45-55 minutes, until tender.
- Give the sauce a good stir, adjust the seasoning, garnish with fresh herbs and serve with crusty bread.

[email protected]I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I added some extra garlic and oregano, and it was much better. The squid was also a bit tough, so I would recommend cooking it for a little less time next time.
