Squid Sofrito

Squid Sofrito

Sofrito is easy to make, but take the time to gently sauté the ingredients if you want to make a great one. This squid version is also great with shrimp.

  • 2 large onions, chopped fine
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • 2 lbs squid, cleaned
  • 1 pinch saffron
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 4 cloves garlic, chopped

  • Pepper to taste
  • Chile flakes to taste (opt.)
  • 2 tomatoes
  • ½ cup white wine or sherry
  • ¼ cup basil

Method

  1. 1

    Place onions and oil in a large pan and sofreir on low heat until onions are translucent, 15-20 minutes. 

  2. 2

    Meanwhile, rinse squid. Slice into rings and pat dry with a paper towel. 

  3. 3

    Place saffron in a small glass and pour 3 Tbsp boiling water on it to infuse. 

  4. 4

    When onions are just cooked, add garlic, paprika, salt, pepper and chile. Stir well.
