squid in anchovy sauce
serves 4 to 6
• 3 lbs. small squid, cleaned and cut into rings
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 1 cup chopped onion
• freshly ground pepper
• 4 oz. flat anchovies (we use ortiz brand), drained
• 1 cup clam juice
• 1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
• juice of 1 1/2 lemons or to taste
heat the oil in a saucepan and add the onion. cook until the onion is translucent. sprinkle with pepper and add the squid and anchovies. do not add salt until the very end, if ever (the anchovies are already salty). add the clam juice and parsley and simmer 30 minutes. add the lemon juice and serve hot in small soup bowls with parsley sprinkled over. serve with a crusty bread for dipping.
