Calamari Bruschetta Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Calamari

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the cleaned calamari rings and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until they turn opaque. Do not overcook.

  2. 2

    Add Vegetables

    Add the sliced fennel and chopped roasted red bell peppers to the skillet with the calamari. Stir in the Calabrian chili paste, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the fennel is tender.

  3. 3

    Toss in Basil

    Remove the skillet from heat and gently fold in the torn basil leaves.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Baguette

    While cooking the calamari, preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Arrange the sliced baguette on a baking sheet, brush with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and toast in the oven for about 5-7 minutes until golden.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Spoon the warm calamari salad mixture over the toasted baguette slices and serve immediately.
