Calamari Casserole Recipe

Calamari Casserole

From fungoir 16 years ago

A slow cooked Calamari dish that is great to serve from the pot on the dining table, a good easy meal amongst friends

Prepare Calamari if you have bought it whole, it is more fun to buy it whole and do this, it makes you appreciate the meal more.
Heat oven to 180 celsius
Slice calamari body into 1/4 inch wide tubes
Slice tentacles into 1 1/2 inch long lengths, marinate tentacles in bowl of lemon juice, pepper and salt for at least 1hr.
In a dutch oven on stove:
Fry onions till soft
Add garlic and capsicum
Add spices, and stir through, season to taste
Add tomatoes and refill can with water and add this too.
Add a squeeze of lemon and a generous dose of pepper.
Place calamari rings into the dutch oven stir through to make sure they are covered in enough liquid, place on lid and put in oven for 45 minutes
Once the 45 minutes is up, mix spring onions and chilli with the tentacles, fry for 3-4 minutes adding the marinade as you fry them.
Serve with steamed rice and tentacles on the side

Thanks, I sort of morphed a few different recipe's and flavours into this. I had some calamari that needed cooking and I had people coming around, this was the result. An impromptu delight
