God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

The art of love is God at work through you.

INGREDIENTS

1 lb Fresh calamari, squid or
cuttlefish
3 oz Virgin olive oil
3 Garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 t Crushed red pepper flakes
2 c Basic tomato sauce, see *
note
1/4 c Mint leaves
1/2 c Small black olives, such as
nicoise
Salt, to taste
Freshly-ground black pepper
to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

Note: See the "Basic Tomato Sauce" recipe which is included in this
collection.  To clean the calamari, wash and drain completely. Pull the
tentacles  from each squid holding the sac part in one hand and the
tentacles in  the other. The tentacles will remain attached to the
inside flesh of  the sac. Cut the tentacles off just above the eyes.
Throw everything  away from the eyes down. Remove the hard beak part by
squeezing the  base of the tentacles and set the tentacles aside. Leave
the  tentacles whole. Remove the quill bone from the sac and any
remaining  innards and discard. Peel off the reddish skin from the
outside of  the sac and rinse the inside and outside of sac under
running water.  Cut sacs into 1/4-inch rounds.  In a 12- to 14-inch
skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and  sauté garlic until
lightly browned, about 1 minute. Add crushed red  pepper and Basic
Tomato Sauce, the cleaned calamari, mint leaves and  black olives.
Lower the heat and simmer for 7 to 9 minutes until the  calamari has
turned opaque and yet is still tender. Season with salt  and pepper. It
may need more seasoning than you think. Pour into  heated serving dish
and serve immediately.  Source: MOLTO MARIO with Mario Batali From the
