Spanish Braised Squid

Prep time: 10 minutes

Cook time: 15 minutes

Serves: 4 - 6 People

Super easy but showstopping dinner option using @ausorganicfoodco’s delicious (but extremely convenient) tomato Passata! We love @ausorganicfoodco’s products, they’re all organic and often use produce that aren’t “perfect” enough for supermarket shelves but are far too good to be wasted!!
