Ingredients
- 1 kg cleaned squid, cut into chunky pieces
- 2-3 garlic cloves, grated
- 100 g chorizo, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp smoked paprika, lightly toasted (optional)
- 1-2 spring onions, chopped
- 2 bay leaves
- 300 ml passata
- sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- handful chopped flat-leaf parsley, plus extra, to serve
- drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and crusty bread, to serve
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180˚C.
1. Pop the squid into a deep baking dish with the remaining ingredients. Cover with a piece of baking paper, then tightly cover the dish in foil.
2. Bake for 40-50 minutes or until the squid has started to become tender again (it tightens after a few seconds cooking, but will become softer after it simmers for a while).
3. When the squid is tender, you can remove it from the pan and reduce the sauce if it’s a bit watery, but I personally love the juiciness of this dish.
Add a drizzle olive oil as well as some more chopped parsley. Serve warm with lots of crusty bread.
