Instructions

1. Clean the cuttlefish under running water, removing the bone, skin and innards. Cut them into strips or rings.

2. Finely chop the onion and garlic. In a large skillet, heat a few tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and sauté onion and garlic until golden brown.

3. Add the cuttlefish to the sauté and sauté for a few minutes. Deglaze with white wine and allow the alcohol to evaporate.

4. Combine the peeled tomatoes (or tomato puree) with the cuttlefish. Season with salt and pepper. Cover the pan and cook over medium heat for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

5. Add the peas and continue cooking for another 15-20 minutes, or until the peas are tender and the cuttlefish well cooked.

6. When cooked, sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley and serve hot.
