method

Let’s make something delicious

  • Step one

    Heat a generous glug of olive oil in a large deep pan over medium-high heat. Start by sautéing the onions and fennel for around 5 minutes, until they start to soften. Add the garlic and cook for a couple of minutes more, until fragrant.

  • Step two

    Next add the tomato paste, followed by the anchovies and spices. Turn up the heat and pour in the wine. Boil until the liquid is reduced by half, then add the tinned tomatoes.

  • Step three

    Stir in the squid and simmer on low for at least an hour. Once the squid is tender, taste season well. Sprinkle over the chopped parsley and spoon over toasted sourdough, or stir into pasta. Enjoy!
