Stuffed squid with sieved tomatoes: Method
- For the stuffed squid, combine the breadcrumbs, parsley, garlic, eggs, chilli, 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil, salt, capers and anchovies in a large bowl. Loosely spoon the filling into the tubes. Secure the filling with toothpicks and set aside.
- Heat the remaining olive oil in a large deep-sided saucepan over medium heat and gently cook the garlic, parsley stalks and chilli for 1–2 minutes. Add the stuffed squid and brown on both sides, then pour in the wine and let it bubble away for 1–2 minutes or until the alcohol has evaporated.
- Add Mutti Passata and 300ml of water and bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover with a lid and simmer gently for 25–30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Taste for salt and adjust accordingly.
- Serve with soft polenta or crusty bread.
