This is one of those dishes that we called “comfortable”. In the winter, when we’re craving something steaming and rich to eat, Squids and Cannellini Beans is one of those perfect dishes! Served with a bruschetta and some extra virgin olive oil, it is also perfect as main dish. As well as it perfectly matches with red wine, besides the classic white one for fish.

The frozen squid are already cleaned, you only need to cut them into size you prefer. Maybe you can even find them already cut. Otherwise, cleaning a squid is quite simple: first you have to detach  head from the body. Then eviscerate the body (making sure to remove the thin cartilage too) if you want to leave it whole. In the photo below, I cut body lengthwise and then removed the guts, because I wanted to cut it into small pieces. Now the head: cut off part where the eyes are, and remove the hard part that is between the tentacles, at the base of the head (the mouth). That’s it!
