How to Make Squid Stewed With Tomatoes White Wine And Black Olives

  1. Clean and slice 1 pound of squid crosswise into ½-inch rings.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the squid rings and cook, tossing occasionally, for 5 minutes, until lightly browned.
  3. Remove the squid from the pan and set aside.
  4. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the pan. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and sauté until softened but not browned, about 5 minutes.
  5. Add 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 2 cloves garlic (minced), and 1-2 small dried red pepper flakes. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Return the squid to the pan. Add 1 cup dry white wine (such as Sauvignon Blanc), 1 bay leaf, 2 sprigs fresh thyme, and a pinch of saffron threads.
  7. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  8. Cover the pan and simmer over low heat for 40 minutes, or until the squid is tender.
  9. Remove the bay leaf and red pepper flakes.
  10. Stir in ½ cup pitted Kalamata olives and the zest of 1 lemon. Continue to cook uncovered for 10 minutes, or until the sauce has slightly thickened.
  11. Adjust the consistency; the sauce should be slightly thick but not soupy.
  12. Stir in 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice.
  13. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  14. Transfer to a warm serving bowl, garnish with 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley, and serve immediately with crusty bread.
