Mediterranean Squid With Mushrooms and Tomatoes Recipe #217785
Squid is known as calamari. You should select fresh squid if possible, and it should have a fresh, sweet smell. The meat is actually firm, slightly chewy, and white when cooked. Overcooking makes it tough. This can be served either as a main or first course. The tomatoe sauce can be done ahead of time and re-heated
