Basic ingredients

• 1kg squid cut into strips
• 1kg potatoes
• olive oil
• 1 glass of white wine

• 2 cloves of garlic crushed
• 1 medium onion finely chopped
• fresh basil chopped
• salt and pepper

Steps:

1. Put the onion and crushed garlic in a large pan and cook slowly over a low heat for 5 mins

2. Add the squid (in strips) and the glass of white wine and boil for 15 - 20 mins over a medium heat

3. Slice the potatoes (about 1cm in thickness) and fry them separately for 2 mins only

4. Add the fried potatoes to the pan and leave the mixture to boil until the squid is soft and the potatoes cooked

5. Season with salt and pepper

6. Place the mixture in a preheated serving dish and garnish with parsley

Tips and ideas:

• Be careful when cleaning the squid. It can be quite a messy business.
• Use fresh squid. Frozen squid tends to be rubbery and lacks flavour.
• Serve this dish with a tasty pepper salad and a chilled dry white wine.
