Calamari Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Focaccia

   Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the focaccia slices on a baking tray and drizzle with olive oil. Bake for about 10-12 minutes or until golden and crispy. Set aside.

2. 2

   Cook the Calamari

   In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the calamari rings and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until they turn opaque. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

3. 3

   Make the Sauce

   In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the crushed San Marzano tomatoes, chili flakes, salt, and pepper. Simmer for about 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

4. 4

   Combine Ingredients

   Add the sautéed calamari, chopped spinach, and peperonata to the sauce. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the spinach is wilted and everything is heated through.

5. 5

   Serve

   Serve the calamari mixture hot alongside the baked focaccia slices for dipping.
