Squid & bean stew (Feijoada de lulas)

Another Portuguese recipe. A seafood recipe. I love seafood!

My partner is not very keen on squid, but he'll happily eat squid when prepared with beans.

Serves: 4 persons.

Ingredients:

• 500g squid, clean
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, chopped
• 1 chili, chopped (optional)
• 1 bay leaf
• 2 carrots, peeled, cut lengthways and sliced
• 1 tin of chopped tomatoes (400g)
• 150ml white wine
• 400g white beans, cooked
• salt & pepper to taste
• olive oil to taste
• parsley to taste

Method:

1. Cut the squid in strips.
   
   
   
2. Fry the onion, garlic, chili (if using) and bay leaf in the olive oil.
   
   
   
3. Add the carrots, stir and let them cook for 5 min.
   
   
   
4. Add the tomatoes, white wine and salt & pepper to taste, stir and bring to the boil.
   
   
   
5. Add the squid, stir and let it cook covered for 20 min.
   
   
   
6. Add the beans, stir and let them warm up.
   

   

   
   
   
   
7. Serve with white rice. Sprinkle parsley over the squid on the plate. I actually forgot to buy parsley so we had it without.
