Recipe of Squid with onions
Vida Recetas Editorial
Squid with onions is a traditional Spanish dish, especially popular in the north, where these small squid are slowly stewed with onion, pepper, and white wine. This recipe is ideal for those looking for a tasty and comforting meal without complications: the difficulty is low, and the result is spectacular. The squid, cooked over low heat, absorb the flavors of the sauce and become tender, while the caramelized onion adds a natural sweetness that balances the dish.
This preparation is perfect for a dinner with friends or family, and can be served as a starter or main course accompanied by boiled potatoes. The key is to slowly poach the onion until it is translucent and lightly golden, giving the stew an incredible aromatic base. Additionally, white wine and sweet paprika add depth and color.
There are variations that add peas or clams, but this classic version is simple and delicious. If you have never cooked squid, this is the perfect opportunity to surprise your guests with an authentic sea flavor.
