30 minutes
Squid stewed with tomatoes and rosemary is a refined dish of European cuisine that combines the tenderness of seafood with the richness of tomato sauce. It recalls traditional Mediterranean recipes where fresh herbs and olive oil play a key role. A light breading gives the squid a crispy texture, while stewing in aromatic sauce makes them especially tender. Rosemary and bay leaf add spicy notes, balancing the sweetness of tomatoes and the mild spiciness of garlic. This dish pairs wonderfully with white wine and fresh bread, creating a cozy dinner atmosphere. It is perfect for those who appreciate seafood and rich flavor combinations inspired by European culinary traditions.
