Title: Spanish Squid in Ink Sauce
Post by: Natasha on October 29, 2012, 12:42:28 PM
I bought a can of this and don't really know what to do with it. Just make some spaghetti and pour it over the top?

Throw it away? (sorry, canned squid doesn't sound appetizing to me) Ooooh! Give it to a kid as a Trick on Wednesday night!

I found a recipe and liked it. The canned squid reminds me of smoked oysters, only a little chewier. I didn't have the pound of fresh/frozen squid called for in the recipe.

that seems like a really long cooking time for squid, which might explain why it was chewy, but since you only used the canned squid it might just be that.

Squid cooked in its dish is a traditional Venetian dish.  It is most often served over polenta.

It wasn't really chewy, just more so than smoked oysters.

I would love to cook squid, but since I haven't eaten it much in real life I don't know how it's supposed to come out.
