Bogar Squid Pieces in Tomato Sauce bring the comforting flavours of Spanish seafood cooking to an easy, ready-to-serve conserva. Tender pieces of squid sit in a mild tomato sauce with onion and spices, creating a satisfying balance of delicate seafood flavour, gentle sweetness and savoury depth.
The tomato gives the sauce a rounded, mellow character, while onion and a touch of seasoning complement the squid. Sunflower oil adds richness, helping the sauce coat each piece. It is an approachable choice for anyone discovering squid conservas, as well as a handy pantry staple for those who already enjoy them.
Serve straight from the tin at room temperature as a simple tapa, with crusty bread to soak up every spoonful of sauce. Add olives, roasted piquillo peppers and a few other conservas for a relaxed Spanish spread that takes just minutes to put together.
For a more substantial meal, warm the contents gently in a pan and spoon over white rice, boiled potatoes or couscous. You can also toss the squid and sauce through pasta, finishing with chopped parsley and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Keep the preparation simple so the seafood and tomato remain the focus.
At Spanish Pig, we love a conserva that works equally well as a quick snack and as the starting point for lunch. This Bogar tin offers both, with plenty of sauce worth enjoying to the very last bite.
