Squids are very beneficial for the human body. They contain a lot of valuable vitamins and minerals. As a rule, they are served with various sauces that emphasize the taste of the dish itself. After reviewing today's publication, you will learn how to cook stewed squid with vegetables.
Option with mushrooms
According to this recipe, you can relatively quickly and without much hassle prepare a tasty and light dish that will become a worthy decoration of any festive table. I would like to pay special attention to the fact that in this case, not quite standard ingredients are used, some of which are not always found in every kitchen. Therefore, before starting the process, be sure to check whether you have at hand:
- Six large squids.
- Β½ teaspoon thyme and basil.
- Red bell pepper.
- 2 tablespoons of tomato sauce.
- 300 grams of fresh mushrooms.
- 5 tablespoons of lemon juice.
- Onion head.
- 3 teaspoons ground pepper mixture.
- A pair of cloves of young garlic.
- One third of a teaspoon of dried paprika and sea salt.
Due to such an abundance of spices, the stewed squid with vegetables turns out to be unusually aromatic. As for mushrooms, in this case it is advisable to use oyster mushrooms.
Process description
At the initial stage, you need to take time to prepare the main ingredient. Squids are peeled, freed from the insides, washed in cool water and cut into even rings. After that, they are placed in a marinade, consisting of a mixture of peppers and lemon juice, and removed to the side for half an hour.
In a frying pan greased with warmed vegetable oil, lightly fry the onion sliced ββin half rings. When it becomes transparent, chopped garlic and strips of bell pepper are added to it. Five minutes later, the mushrooms washed and cut into slices are sent to the pan with vegetables. Season it all with spices and cook for about half an hour.
Then spread the tomato sauce, sea salt, paprika and pickled squid to the contents of the pan. All is well mixed and after a couple of minutes removed from the stove. Immediately after this, cover the pan and leave for thirty minutes. Served squid with stewed vegetables (recipes can be seen in today's article) with pasta or boiled rice.
Sour cream option
A dish made using the technology described below has a light and very fresh taste. It contains simple and affordable ingredients that can be purchased without any problems in any supermarket. Before you start cooking such a meal as stewed squid with vegetables (recipes with photos are discussed in today's publication), you need to stock up on everything in advance. This time you will need:
- 400 grams of sour cream.
- Kilo squid.
- A couple of carrots.
- Large juicy bell pepper.
- A pair of onions.
- Clove of garlic.
- Salt.
Since the stewed squid with vegetables will be pre-fried in a pan, care should be taken to have a little vegetable oil at your fingertips. As for bell pepper, it is advisable to use large meaty specimens for the preparation of this dish. It is due to this that you will be able to achieve a light and fairly fresh taste.
Step-by-step technology
At the very beginning, you should do vegetables. They are washed, peeled and ground. Onions are cut into thin half rings. Carrots and peppers are chopped into strips. In a frying pan greased with vegetable oil, spread the garlic cut into four parts and wait until it turns yellow. After that, they take it out of the dishes, and chopped onions and carrots are sent to its place and fry them until soft.
Then, seafood cut into strips is laid out to the contents of the pan, in which the future stewed squid with vegetables is prepared. Almost immediately after the clams, finely chopped bell pepper is sent there.
In a separate bowl combine sour cream, salt and spices. Beat everything well, pour the contents of the pan with the mixture and bring to a boil. Five minutes later, the dish is sprinkled with chopped herbs, covered with a lid and removed from the heat. After another quarter hour, squid stewed with vegetables can be served on the table. In sour cream, they are especially tasty.
