Recipe of Chickpeas with calamari (or potato) with tomato
Vida Recetas Editorial
Chickpeas with calamari (or squid) and tomato is a traditional Spanish stew, perfect for a family lunch or a cold day. This recipe combines the softness of cooked chickpeas with the sea flavor of calamari, all in an aromatic tomato sauce with a touch of paprika and saffron. It is an economical, nutritious, and very easy option, ideal for cooks of all levels.
The stew is made by sautéing onion and garlic, adding chopped calamari and paprika, then incorporating natural tomato, chickpeas, white wine, and bay leaf. After a slow simmer of about 30 minutes, a paste of garlic, parsley, and saffron enhances the flavor. The result is a comforting, nuanced dish that admits variations such as using squid instead of calamari or adding a touch of cilantro. Serve hot with good bread for dipping.
