WINE-BRAISED CALAMARI WITH VEGETABLES



Wine-Braised Calamari With Vegetables image

With the right treatment, squid (a.k.a. calamari) can make a satisfying, almost meaty stew. Simmered in white wine and chicken broth, the squid becomes tender in about 30 minutes. And paired with carrots, turnips and peas, it produces a rich and flavorful winter braise.
