Ingredients:

500g calamari, cleaned and cut into rings
2 tbsp olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp tomato paste
400g can of chopped tomatoes
1/2 cup white wine
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions:

1 Prepare the Calamari and Sauce Base
Clean and cut the calamari into rings. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until translucent. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant. Stir in the tomato paste, allowing it to caramelise for a minute.
2 Simmer with Tomatoes and Wine
Add the chopped tomatoes, white wine, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 15 minutes, allowing the flavours to develop and the sauce to thicken slightly.
3 Cook the Calamari and Serve
Add the calamari rings to the sauce, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and simmer gently for 10-15 minutes, until the calamari is tender. Stir in freshly chopped parsley and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot with crusty bread or over a bed of rice.
