Ingredients

  • 1 lb Small squid
  • 1/4 cup Olive oil or corn oil
  • 3 x Onions, peeled, sliced
  • 1/4 cup Vinegar
  • 1/2 cup Dry red wine
  • 2 x Cinnamon sticks
  • 4 whl cloves
  • 1 x Bay leaf
  • Salt & freshly ground pepper

Directions

1

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.

2

Rub salt on the outer sacs and rinse them inside and out with cold water. Rinse head and tentacles thoroughly.

3

Heat the oil in a pan, add the squid, including the tentacles, and onions, and cook slowly until the onions are translucent.

4

Pour the vinegar and wine over the squid and onions, then add the remaining ingredients and enough water to almost cover the squid, if necessary.

5

Cook, uncovered, over low heat until the squid are tender and all the wine has been absorbed, approximately 1 to 1 1/4 hours.

6

Remove the spices and bay leaf. Cut the squid into bite-sized pieces and serve warm or cold.
