PRESENTATION

Calamari rings and potatoes are a main course of fish, easy and tasty. Like all stewed dishes, there will also be a delicious sauce of cherry tomatoes that will flavor both the calamari rings and the potatoes during cooking. This simple, genuine, and fragrant recipe is prepared in a single pan to save time and dishes. Soft and enveloping, they represent a valid alternative to traditional calamari recipes:

INGREDIENTS
Calamari (squid) 2.2 lbs (1 kg) - (cleaned and without head and skin)
Potatoes 1 lb (700 g)
Garlic 1 clove
Peeled plum tomatoes 0.9 cup (200 g)
White wine (80 g)
Water (200 g)
Oregano to taste - fresh
Sage to taste
Fine salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
Extra virgin olive oil to taste
Preparation

How to prepare Calamari Rings and Potatoes

To make calamari rings and potatoes, first peel the potatoes 1, then cut them in half and chop them into irregular chunks 2. In a pan, heat a drizzle of oil with the garlic 3

Add the potatoes and the sage 4, sauté for a few moments, then deglaze with the white wine 5. Let the alcohol evaporate, then add the peeled cherry tomatoes 6

At this point, you can add water: about 7 oz 7 for a very "stewed" result, otherwise for a creamier dish you can start cooking without adding water and adjust as needed, adding hot water if necessary. Cook with the lid on over low heat for 30-35 minutes 8 or until the potatoes are soft. Meanwhile, cut the cleaned calamari into rings 9

After the potato cooking time, remove the garlic 10. Add the calamari rings 11 and salt 12.

Pepper 13 and cook for about 5-6 minutes. When done, season with fresh oregano 14 and serve the calamari rings and potatoes piping hot 15.

How to store

We recommend consuming the calamari immediately, but if there are leftovers, you can store them in the fridge for a day. You can prepare the potatoes in advance and cook just the calamari when ready to serve.

Tips

Pay attention to the cooking of the calamari, as overcooking can make them rubbery. If you purchase whole calamari, you can also add the tentacles to the pan.
