Squid stewed with pepper and sesame is a refined dish of European cuisine that combines the tenderness of seafood with the spiciness of vegetables and the aroma of toasted sesame. The origins of this dish trace back to Mediterranean tradition, where seafood has always held a central place. Sweet peppers and tomatoes add juiciness and a slight tang to the dish, while garlic and spices enhance the depth of flavor. Fried squid remains firm, while stewing in sauce gives it tenderness. The dish pairs wonderfully with rice or fresh bread, complementing the meal with rich flavors. It is perfect for a cozy family dinner or festive gathering, impressing guests with its harmony of tastes and appetizing aroma.
