A gentle Italian-style stew with seasonal green peas and squid, taught to Chef Hidaka by his master during his apprenticeship. A heartwarming dish that's easy to make with simple ingredients, bringing authentic flavor to your home.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients (5-6 servings)

  • Japanese Flying Squid 400g
  • Green Peas 300g
  • Onion 1/2 medium
  • Garlic 1 clove

Seasonings

  • Olive Oil 3 tbsp
  • Dried Red Chili Peppers 2-3
  • White Wine 200cc
  • Salt (to taste)

Steps

  1. Shell the green peas and extract the seeds.
  2. Do not discard the emptied green pea pods. [The Secret Tip!] The pods release a delicious broth, enhancing the dish's umami.
  3. Place the green pea pods and water in a pot, and simmer over low heat for about 10 minutes to extract the broth.
  4. Heat 3 tbsp of olive oil in a separate pot and sauté finely chopped 1/2 medium onion.
  5. Cut the 400g Japanese flying squid into bite-sized pieces of about 1cm width, including the tentacles, body, fins, and beak, so they are easy to eat when stewed. Remove the cartilage.
  6. Once the onion is softened, add minced 1 clove garlic and 2-3 dried red chili peppers, and sauté until fragrant.
  7. Add the cut Japanese flying squid to the pot and stir-fry until it turns white and opaque. [The Secret Tip!] Squid becomes tender after it initially firms up during cooking.
  8. Add 200cc white wine and reduce until the alcohol evaporates.
  9. Once the white wine has reduced, add the shelled 300g green peas. [The Secret Tip!] This is simmered thoroughly to prioritize flavor over vibrant color.
  10. Add the broth extracted from the green pea pods to the pot with the squid and green peas. If there is too much liquid, simmer uncovered; if there is too little, cover and simmer for 20-30 minutes.
  11. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt to taste. [The Secret Tip!] It's recommended to keep the saltiness light.
  12. Serve in bowls and drizzle with olive oil as desired.
