1 large onion
2 cloves garlic
1 teaspoonful tomato puree (tomato paste)
1 400g (14 oz) tin chopped tomatoes
6 oz water, stock or wine
Seasoning

Chop onion and garlic, microwave for five minutes (omit this step if
you don’t have a microwave; it isn’t essential but it makes the
sauce quicker to cook). Transfer to saucepan, add tomato puree (paste)
and stir. Add tinned tomatoes and other fluid (I use half the empty
tin as a measure, which has the added advantage of rinsing it out!).
Season, bring to boil, and simmer until the pasta is cooked (which
you are meanwhile cooking in another pan). For seasoning, I use
salt, freshly milled black pepper, Worcestershire sauce and some sort
of herbs; fresh basil if I have it, or dried Italian seasoning. But
use what you like and have handy.

I add frozen peas and sweetcorn to this, to make a balanced protein,
perhaps mushrooms, chopped peppers, etc. You can add bacon (back,
all visible fat removed, of course 🙂 ) at the tomato puree stage,
and season with chilli for pasta amatriciana. Or sometimes I omit
the tomato puree, use white wine for the liquid, and use as a
sauce for microwaved white fish, served on brown rice. The possibilities
are endless.

BAKED STUFFED SQUID

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 5 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Greek Seafood

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
Karen Mintzias
1 lb Squid
Salt
6 tb Olive oil
1 Onion — chopped
1/3 c Raw long-grain white rice
1/2 c Chopped fresh parsley
1/4 c Chopped fresh mint leaves
2 tb White wine
1/4 c Pine nuts
1/4 c Black raisins
Freshly ground pepper
4 Peeled tomatoes — drained
1/3 c White wine

Wash and clean the squid, separating the outer sacs from the heads and
tentacles, removing and discarding the translucent cartilage, and small
sand bag and ink. Rub salt on the outer sacs and rinse them inside and out
with cold water. Heads and tentacles should be rinsed thoroughly and
cooked along with the sacs after you stuff the latter. Drain and set
aside.

Heat 1/4 cup of the oil in a heavy frying pan, then add the onion and cook,
without browning, until transparent. Stir in the rice and saute a few
minutes, until golden. Blend in the parsley, mint, 2 tablespoons wine,
pine nuts, and raisins, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Add
enough water to half cover and cook for a few minutes, then stuff the squid
sacs with the mixture using a very small spoon and allowing enough liquid
in each for the rice to cook. Seal opening with skewers or toothpicks.
Place the stuffed sacs with the heads and tentacles in a baking-serving
dish. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and set aside.

Meanwhile, combine the tomatoes, 1/3 cup wine, and a little salt and pepper
in a small saucepan and simmer for 5 minutes. Pour the sauce over the
squid and dribble the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil over the top. Bake
in a medium-slow oven (300 F) for 1 1/2 hours or until the squid and rice
are tender and the sauce has thickened. Serve warm or cold.
