Squid, squid, little squids, cuttlefish, lace… Depending on the area, the name varies. In Valencia we call squid al squid small, about 5 centimeters, and lace, to the tiny one, approximately 2 or 3 centimeters. The truth is that I do not know if they are the same species or are different. I suppose different, as there are more than 300 varieties of squid, which include even the giant size. For this recipe, I have used the little ones, the ones we call lace here. To clean them, we will only remove the feather (that transparent and semi-rigid central spine) and we will rinse them very well with cold water.
With this recipe they come out very very tender and with a great flavor. I have cooked them with their ink, which is dissolved in a sauce of onion, tomato and white wine. It is very easy to do and you can serve it as appetizer, or complete the plate with a rice for garnish and some poached eggs. If you like flavors of the sea, you have guaranteed success.

Hello Ana, this weekend I have prepared it and it was to die for… I had thought about making a black rice with this recipe… if I double the amount, it is the same times. Thanks a lot
Hi Esther. I'm very glad you liked them. They are very rich, right? Yes, they are the same times and speeds. They are sure to be great with rice, it is a great accompaniment to squid. A kiss!
Does the recipe have an extra squid?
Hello David, it does not have any ink 🙂
Hello, I am going to do it now, one question, are the squid added whole?
Hello Eva, if the squidward ones are small, they are thrown whole. I hope you liked the recipe. Thanks for writing to us!
