Healthy Puttanesca-Style Sautéed Squid

These puttanesca-style sautéed squid rings are paired with garlic, olives, sundried tomatoes, capers, lemon, and fresh herbs. This recipe was adapted from the MSC's Ocean Cookbook 2022.

📝 Ingredients

• 450 grams MSC-certified squid, cut into 1/2-inch rings ((1 pound))
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 5 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes
• 1/3 cup pitted olives
• 1 Tbsp capers, drained
• 1 tsp red pepper flakes ((increase if you want more spiciness))
• 1 large handful fresh basil, torn
• 1 small handful fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 lemon, zest + juice
• Fresh pepper
• Serve with: cooked quinoa, farro, brown rice, or whole wheat pasta ((see notes!))

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Heat olive oil in a large pan on medium-high heat.
2. 2Add the minced garlic, and sauté until golden brown and fragrant, about 2 minutes.
3. 3Mix in the sun-dried tomatoes, olives, capers, and chili flakes.
4. 4Zest the lemon straight into the pan, reserving the juice for later. Allow the pan to simmer for 1 minute, mixing occasionally.
5. 5Next, add the squid rings and sauté for 3 minutes, or until the squid is firm, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and stir in basil leaves.
6. 6Serve grains of choice (I used quinoa) and top with squid mixture. Garnish with parley leaves, lemon juice, and black pepper. Enjoy!
