Squid and Pastini Fritters

Ingredients

Squid 600g

Pastini 300g

Onion 1

Carrot 2

Egg 2

Butter 4 tbsp

Dill 2 tbsp

Tomatoes 6

Thyme 2 tsp

Turmeric 1/4 tsp

Salt

Ground black pepper

Boil the squid in salted water for 2 minutes, cool, and mince. Cook the pastini in 3 cups of the squid broth until tender. Finely chop the onion and fry in 2 tablespoons of oil, being careful not to let it discolor. Add the finely grated carrots and fry everything together over low heat.

 Combine the squid, pastini, and fried vegetables, add the egg, salt, and pepper, and mix well. Fry the fritters, dropping them by the tablespoon into a frying pan with hot oil, until golden brown.

For the sauce, finely chop the tomatoes, puree in a blender, season with salt, pepper, turmeric, and thyme, and simmer until thickened. Serve the fritters with the sauce, garnished with a sprig of herbs.

Enjoy!
