Pan-fried calamari with pine nuts, cherry tomato, and olive taggiasche. This is a nice change from the usual fried squid that we are all probably bored of. It isn't overly seasoned which allows for the natural flavours of the ingredients to come through.The calamari is so fresh, and incredibly soft. It is cooked perfectly, and there isn't any hint of chewiness here. The other ingredients actually do not play second fiddle and still manage to hold their ground - especially the tomatoes. Italian tomatoes are simply the best: so sweet, ripe, and fresh. Fantastic appetiser that isn't too heavy so as to ruin your meal. Priced at $18. This was a meal hosted by Ciao@ and many thanks to Burpple for the invite!
