Squid in Sauce is an easy and quick fish main course, and they are one of my favorite fish dishes. They are very tender and tasty. We always have a thousand things to do between children and home, and we are always in a hurry, and in this way, you can prepare a fantastic dish suitable for the whole family or to offer to your guests. The curry will give the dish an aroma and flavor that will win you over; you can adjust how spicy to make the squid by regulating the chili pepper according to your taste, but to enhance the flavor, I recommend adding even just a pinch because it will add that extra touch the dish shouldn’t lack. If you want more ideas, you can look at other dishes with squid and find more of my interesting recipes that are always easy to make and accessible to everyone.

How to prepare Squid in Sauce
Let’s proceed with the preparation of squid in sauce. Clean the squid by removing the eyes, beak, innards, and cartilage, which you can easily pull out. Rinse them well under running water, cut the body into rings, and divide the tentacles in half if they are large; otherwise, leave them whole.
Clean the onion and chop it finely, clean the garlic and cut it in half. Pour 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil into a pan, add the garlic and sauté for a minute.
Add the chopped onion and squid, cook for two minutes, then deglaze with the wine and continue cooking until the wine has completely evaporated. Add the bay leaf, ginger, curry, chili pepper, season with salt and pepper, and add the tomato puree.
Cover with a lid and cook for 10 minutes. If you see the sauce reducing too much, add half a glass of water. When the squid in sauce is cooked, serve them hot, perhaps accompanied by polenta or slices of bread.
