Method

  1. Heat the olive oil in a shallow saucepan or flameproof casserole and add the squid, onions and garlic. Add the dry ingredients and simmer until all the liquid has evaporated and the onions are tender, about 15 mins. Add the vinegar and chopped tomatoes, simmer for 1 min, then pour over the red wine and season. Simmer very gently on the lowest heat, stirring occasionally, for 1 hr or until the sauce is rich and the squid is really tender.
  2. Turn off the heat, leave to cool slightly, then drizzle with a little more olive oil and scatter with the coriander and orange zest.

    Great recipe, in Spain some people would add squid ink.

    5 star. A fantastic recipe. I would add the squid closer to serving next time and use a little squid ink (whole foods) but a really delicious first attempt. Bravo

    This is lovely, really rich and gutsy. Looks and tastes impressive but very easy to cook. I was dubious about slow cooking squid, but it worked really well. I added a bit of smoked paprika to give a really Spanish flavour, which was nice. Next time, I might use a bit less squid, then add some king prawns right at the end. Quantities are fairly large - I halved the recipe for two of us, but it would have fed three.
