Place squid on paper towel; top with second paper towel. Repeat until dry (this usually takes two to three changes). Using sharp knife, cut tubes into 1/2-inch rings and halve large tentacles. Dry again (it's really important to dry the pieces well so that once they are in the pan, they sear instead of steam). Set aside.
Ask the hotline about this step!In a large saucepot, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat. Add onions, red pepper flakes and oregano; season with kosher salt. Cook 10 minutes, or until onions have softened and are just starting to color, stirring occasionally. Add garlic and cook 2 minutes, or until softened, stirring constantly. Transfer onions and garlic to bowl.
Ask the hotline about this step!In same saucepot, add remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Increase heat to high. Add squid; season with kosher salt. Cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Return onions and garlic to saucepot. Add red wine and clam juice. Bring to a boil and let cook 1 minute, scraping bottom of pot. Using clean hands, break tomatoes up into pot. Add 1/2 cup liquid from canned tomatoes to pot. Stir to combine; return to a boil. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 10 minutes.
Ask the hotline about this step!Meanwhile, peel potatoes; cut into 3/4" cubes, holding in water, if necessary to prevent browning. Add potatoes to stew; make sure mixture returns to a bubble. Cover pot and simmer 35 minutes more, or until potatoes and squid are tender. Taste and adjust seasoning. Add spinach and olives to stew, stir until spinach has just wilted and the olives are warmed through.
Ask the hotline about this step!i'm so glad you enjoyed this as much as we do - and i have to tell you, i don't enjoy cleaning squid either...usually drying the tubes very well is enough for me. i usually buy cleaned squid - maybe i'm cheating. but i love the idea of clams.
This was FABULOUS. Thank you for a great dish.
thank you - and thank you again for getting squid stew out there. i still think squid is thought of too often as a 'fried-only' food.
I love squid, and this sounds fabulous.
OMG! (my husband's suggestion, I asked him if it was being over dramatic and he said not for me! I mean, this is good) This is a fantastic soup! We are enjoying it as I type. It is a rainy evening in Berkeley CA and this soup is hitting the spot. I did make a substitution; I didn't relish the idea of cleaning squid so I used prawns, scallops, and a bit of canned chopped claims instead.
