Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 cup Long grain rice
1 pounds Squid, fresh; cleaned, body
;pouches sliced into rings
;1/2 to 1 inch tall
¼ cup Olive oil
3 cloves Garlic; sliced
¼ cup Dry white wine

Directions

Heat the oil in a skillet, add the squid and the garlic, and saute them for five minutes. Stir in the wine and the tomatoes, cover the pan and simmer the mixture until the squid is almost tender; approximately 30 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a baking dish.

Meanwhile, in a separate pan, heat the butter and saute the rice--stirring constantly to avoid browning it--until it is milky and opaque. Add the rice to the squid, and sprinkle with 4 tablespoons of the parsley, the rosemary, and salt and pepper to taste. Add 1¼ cup of hot water. Cover the baking dish and bake in a preheated 350 degree (F) oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the rice is tender.

Sprinkle with the remaining parsley and serve hot. misc011 Source: Vilma Liacouras Chantiles; The Food of Greece MMed by: earl.cravens@...
