Answer 5

My mum makes it in a portuguese style which is really good with some plain white rice.

Cleaned squid, some garlic, lemon, black pepper, salt - marinade this and leave it aside while you prepare the sauce.

4 roasted red bell peppers, peeled and de seeded and processed to a pulp. 1 finely chopped onion, one bay leaf, three garlic cloves, olive oil.

heat some olive oil in a pan,throw in the chopped fresh garlic and let it brown until golden, add the bay leef and onions and cook until soft and translucent, add the peppers and let it boil. when the sauce is bubbling add the squid and leave it on high. When the squid firms up and changes colour then its ready. adjust the salt, garnish with some chopped parsely and serve with white rice or in the traditional portuguese style over some boiled potatoes. and drizzle some olive oil on it.
