Greek Cuttlefish in Red Wine Recipe

Serves/Makes: 6

Ingredients:

• 3 pounds cuttlefish, cleaned
• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1/2 cup red wine
• 3 large tomatoes, peeled and chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon sugar
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley

How to cook Greek Cuttlefish in Red Wine:

• Cut the cuttlefish bodies into thick strips and leave the tentacles intact.
• Heat the oil in a deep frying pan. Add the onion and cook gently for about 10 minutes, until transparent.
• Stir in the garlic and cuttlefish, and cook over a low heat for 5 minutes.
• Add the wine, cuttlefish ink if available, tomatoes, sugar, and salt and pepper to taste.
• Cover and simmer gently for about 1-1/2 hours over a low heat until the cuttlefish is tender. (Cuttlefish will create its own liquid during cooking, but add a little water during the last stages if the sauce begins to catch on the base of the pan.)
• Add most of the parsley and cook for 1 minute. Transfer to a warm serving bowl, sprinkle with the remaining parsley and serve hot.
