Panfried Calamari Recipe

  Seafood

Ingredients:
6 fresh or frozen squid tubes (squid bodies)
olive oil
2 fresh chopped tomatoes
4 cloves finely chopped garlic
1 finely chopped red onion
fresh chopped basil
toasted sesame seeds
1 cup white wine
fresh squeezed juice of 2 lemons
salt & pepper to season
chopped parsley

Directions:
slice across squid tubes to form rings. Add a little olive oil to a pan & saute garlic & onion. On a medium heat, add tomatoes & basil & stir to mix ingredients. Add squid rings & stir again. Turn up the heat slightly, & cook until squid starts to brown slightly, stirring constantly. Add 1 cup of white wine - flame this if desired. Season as required. Remove from heat, serve immediately squeezing the lemon juice & adding the parsley & sesame seeds at the very end
Best served on its own, maybe with some crusty, hot bread.
Enjoy! Watch that you do not overcook the squid, as it will get tough & rubbery.
