Time 8m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
2 tablespoons pine nuts
2 tablespoons currants
1/4 cup caperberries
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon hot red-pepper flakes
1 cup basic tomato sauce
1 1/2 pounds cleaned calamari, tubes cut into 1/4-inch rounds, tentacles halved
8 scallions, thinly sliced (reserve some for garnish)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Steps:

  • Heat 1/4 cup oil in a large sauté pan until just smoking. Sauté the pine nuts, currants, caperberries, garlic and red-pepper flakes until the pine nuts are golden brown, about 2 minutes. Add the tomato sauce, and bring to a simmer. Stir in the calamari, mix well and simmer for 2 or 3 minutes, or until the calamari is just cooked and completely opaque. Toss in the scallions, and season with salt and pepper. Pour into a large, warm bowl, sprinkle with the reserved scallions, drizzle with olive oil, and serve immediately.
