Calamari Marinara - Tender Calamari in Tomato Sauce Recipe

[@foodwishes]

Check out the recipe: www.allrecipes.com/Recipe/258038/Calamari-Marinara/

[@woofpuppy]

Calamari can be derubberified by soaking it in buttermilk for 4+ hours, that is what the last restaurant I worked in did. They would fry it to a crispy golden brown (not light brown) and it would almost melt in the mouth. Try it!

[@scambroselauntrellus3681]

I cannot easily describe how much joy Chef John brings to my life.

[@giuliapugliese1507]

You are, after all, the Lord of the Rings of your circular squid things!

[@kownya]

I do suffer from regular anxiety but just watching this recipe eased my mind. I'll give this sea food treat a try some day for sure! One of my fav yt cooking channels

[@junecosgrove119]

Dear Chef, My friends and I ate this with squid ink sauce in Miguel de Allende and furtherd the enjoyment with a bottle of prosseco. While it did look like something Clingons would eat, we quite enjoyed the experience. I go to your blog often for cooking inspiration. Thank you Chef.

[@processing7836]

"The only other thing we're going to toss in at this point is some dry oregano, or some other seafood friendly herb of your choice. You are, after all, the ..." Bob Marley of your calamari?

[@beatsByZlaja]

I do believe the reference was to the oregano. You are, after all, the Franklin Delano, of your oregano.

[@ItsMikeArre]

Something about that cheese being so thin and watching it melt on top of that warm pasta and calamari marinara got me super exited haha hey Chef Johns your new slogan should be "food wishes for you hungry bitches"

[@scottcomella2264]

My great aunt used to bring homemade squid pie for the holidays. It was the best !

[@Boo13Hiss]

This is about the exact same way I make mine, the farther I moved from the east coast the fewer people would even think about trying this! Love that you put this out. Try a squeeze of lemon at the end instead of cheese some day when you are feeling adventurous & throw in some arugula before you add the sauce. ( or as a base for your stew, maybe minus the potatoes) Back home it was traditional to have calamari fritti with marinara sauce and lemon wedges as an app. Love this stuff & yes its either 45 or 45! Molto bene :)

[@Shogunfs]

This looks absolutely amazing (like everything you do) I'm gonna give it a try as soon as possible

[@emirinobambino]

I've eaten a great deal of calamari, and from my experiences, would claim it is the least "fishy" tasting seafood. It is really quite meaty and chicken-like. I'm not a huge fan of seafood, but *am* a huge fan of calamari. I encourage everyone to give it a try. It is especially good served alongside spicy tomato sauce.

[@nejihyuga8715]

Chef john you are my favorite.

[@Getoutyonder]

I love the way he talks!!!! I don't k ow how to explain how he talks but I love it!!!! If anyone knows a word for how he talks would love to hear it!!!!

[@averychampion6927]

Thank you for cheering me up tonight. I really needed it.

[@BRTNtv]

As a New Englander, clam juicing is one of my favorite pastimes

[@DefensorsPacis]

I can't like this video twice, sadly. So instead I'm leaving a comment. I love you, Chef John.

[@MoniBahaa]

Believe it or not, this is one of my favorite childhood dishes of all time. Mom adds a little cumin to make the sauce more aromatic, other than that it's identical. P.s. I live in the coastal Mediterranean city of Alexandria, we call this dish "Squid Tagine" although we rarely cook it in the earthenware.

[@Thejadefoxy]

45 second or 45 minutes. Probably a very accurate statement of majority of people's sex life

Fourtacos lulz. also first to like this comment 😌

[@wsotor77]

Wooohooo been binge watching this channel for days

[@CM_Burns]

You are the Master Yoda of your Calamari Marinara.

[@gman23883]

Huh, no. Cayenne

[@zackbutler2752]

Red chili flakes. He uses them less often, but they're pretty much the same thing.

[@MauroTamm]

chili flakes are like the fake lemonade champagne for kids.

[@PockASqueeno]

What type of red chili pepper do red chili flakes come from? Cayenne?

[@joannealton6041]

You make me smile Chef John 😊

[@harpoonman234]

I never really tried cooking with calamari, now you have me interested.

[@kenyafromcali]

Andrew Hanneman very interested!

[@kermdeezy5330]

Try it fried in panko

[@bnel9318]

Andrew Hanneman calamari is very delicious especially in fried! 👍

[@SuzanneBaruch]

I alone caught the recycled dialogue starting at 2:11, lifted straight from his video for Marcella Hazan's Bolognese Sauce. FAN LEVEL: EXTREME.

[@diemvo5033]

I love this channel so much. The non l-chalant sense of humor is amazing. Keep going I really enjoy this channel!

[@RobertHeadley]

I might actually try this. Marinara makes everything good.

[@WThomas]

After all you are the Lord of the rings. lmao

[@tubepiggy888]

Squid - ink noodles looks really good, Chef John. I tried doing baby octopus stew and now I know from your video that I did not cooked it enough time. Thx n great video as well.

[@lightyearsawayfromyou]

"After all you are the lord of the rings".... lol I love it! 😂😂😂

[@Elyoslayer]

Favourite video so far

[@patrickamnesty]

[@jodybern]

Smiling in Mexico ! YAY!!

[@tildaward3763]

Absolutely no to squid ink pasta but the sauce. YES !!!! yum

[@heroicmuffin9972]

I love this guy.

[@arabwaluigi5248]

These videos are so relaxing

[@FeelYourMeal]

True

[@navneethgopal1211]

Chef John is my Spirit Animal.

[@skyer8202]

I'll never make this...but I'll watch for Chef John 💙

[@marcustuuhetoka1340]

I usually just eat deep fried calamari, but this recipe looks too good to turn down. Keep up the good work Chef John. 🖒👍

[@Micklemoose]

I love you Chef John!

[@JeffJefferyUK]

It's great to see someone else use the pouring-in-the-tinned-tomatoes-over-the-back-of-a-wooden-spoon technique. It works a treat.

[@russdennis7026]

amazing channel! So happy I found it. thank you!

[@dennismcruz]

Any girls wanna Food Wishes & Chill?

[@justinmendoza788]

Amazing, this video made me hungry, and I already ate.

[@Bippah]

The comedy this recipe was on point, chef!

[@SeraphimKnight]

They have this word in japanese: 飯テロ (read "meshi tero"). Literally means "food terrorism", but is used to describe those who post incredibly good looking food on their social media. Well this channel is just pure meshitero to me. God damn these videos make me hungry.

[@mariagarza6071]

what about teaching us your version of fried calamari... I do luv watching you cook...

[@robertholtz]

Insanely great in every way!

[@LastMinuteLaura]

I love your videos Chef John. I have tried so many new recipes because of you! Thank you. (but this thumbnail was not great...usually they are so pretty, but... this one wasn't as visually amazing- the recipe is great though)

[@Hey_Ruthie]

I doubt I would ever make it because I don't care for fish or seafood but I watched the video because it's Chef John. Lol.

[@naser3000x]

seafood addict right here, loved every part of it

[@shmackydoo]

this guy will definitely survive the adpocalypse.

[@Karyth]

Might be worth it to try fried calamari at a restaurant. I don't like sea food, and my wife is super picky but we both enjoyed it. (we tried it because someone got it as an appetizer platter)

[@camouflagejumpsuit]

Karyth I can't eat the tentacle parts. Yuck! But the real question here is, do I love my man enough to make this for him? I think I do!

[@nyhyl]

Ruthie The same😁

[@st.talm.8289]

They don't sell clam juice in Germany, or at least I've never seen it in a supermarket here. What would be a good substitution? Any kind of fish broth?

[@slappyjoe631]

Perfect timing!!! Squid season in about 2 or 3 weeks off of Narragansett.

[@sijoonjang3997]

ohhhh mannnn I'm definitely making this. Thank you chef!

[@theyconsiderthis]

Love waking up to a new Chef John video.

Stan Productions he's wearing a pink shirt and tan pants are you high

[@sleepgas]

ok Chef Im looking for the recipe....cant find it...i want to make this for dinner tomorrow..sounds awesome...I'll send you that bottle...

[@davidfoxrn]

[@moonlighter6]

looks delicious!

[@MOOSEDOWNUNDER]

[@j-fquevillon8134]

Hey, Chef John would you freeze the leftover Marinara if there is? This recipe looks amazing by the way :D Thanks

[@dwaynewladyka577]

Quite an amazing looking recipe. Crusty bread would be perfect with that.

[@OldManCookin]

Beautiful Chef..... ! :)

[@mhpurplerooster]

Chef John! Thank you for dealing with one of my favorite meats

[@justinfreeman3473]

Chef John, could you do a recipe with guinea fowl? It's not exactly my preferred food wish, but I recently came into some fresh guinea and would love to try one of your recipes on it.

[@sabahalam6198]

Hello chef john please reply to this. I was watching an episode of breaking bad and one of the characters made a dish called Paila Marina. I've been looking for video recipes on this dish and I can't really seem to find any. Could you please make a video of how to make paila marina even if it's not authentic it just looked really delicious

[@iglespepito]

Even chef john is done with conspiracy theorys

[@MrZicle]

Theories.

Pepe ### what conspiracy theory?

[@detroit7543]

Is it going to become chewy if it is getting cold? if so, how long should we reheat it to make it tender again? another 45 mins?

[@angedejeudi]

Whoa, 40 seconds ago. Love squid though, so excited for the video.

[@SouloftheWolfGod]

Would you recommend a wine that's on the dry side or the sweet side? I don't really cook with wine (or seafood) very often... I'm guessing dry but I'm not really sure

[@TheDeltaBombers]

Chef John! You should do a multi recipe video of your take on perfect American breakfast!

[@numista]

Also, this calamari tomato sauce would be great if added with risotto and some garlic shrimps....You should try, Chef John! :-)

[@GovernmentOfQatar]

Looks delicious.. I would make it arrabbiata though

[@danielgill797]

Im guessing you could substitute the clam juice for high quality fish stock as I've never even seen clam juice. I did look on my supermarket website and they don't sell it. (ASDA - Walmart)

[@andrewsloman1985]

Chef John sure loves his clam juice.

[@kenyafromcali]

With you, I feel like I can make anything! 😘

[@ChefRafi]

This is one of my favorite things to do with squid! Almost as good as stuffed grilled squid. 😊👨‍🍳👍

[@ScottEWallin]

Calimari/squid is good any way cooked, raw, stuffed, fried...enjoy your bait.

[@RiteshSingh1993]

Calamari aside, I now know how to make marinara sauce. THANKS CHEFF

[@janesuoth]

You are on a role with your dad jokes, chef!

[@G4italia]

thanks chef your awesome, I didn't see any basil though

[@thealize808]

I'm going to make this.

[@roberthrodebert9263]

The stew version sounds delicious.

[@rofflesufunny]

love the videos John, keep em coming

[@fell5514]

That small aside about how dinosaurs were real has me grinning like five minutes later.

[@cookyourbeauty4021]

Love that sauce! 😋💖💖💖

[@mspeir]

Will chicken stock make an appropriate substitute for wine? I abstain from alcohol. I understand that the flavor profile will be different, but this is not negotiable with me.

[@noodlegrannybill]

i like your cutting board

[@polychronio]

squid pasta is fantastic!!!

[@carryon2197]

Chef John, this Lord of the ring concurs with you on the Fake fossils :) I enjoy your videos. Thank you so much.

[@lawrence090469]

John, this looks wonderful. Your thoughts on adding a bay leaf and half a lemon (both to be removed before serving) and green pepper and carrot? My one experience with preparing squid was a disaster. I bought two frozen squid from an Asian market to make a buttermilk soaked fried calamari recipe I had seen on TV. I cook, and I had cut up a squid for a marine biology class in college, so I figured how hard could it be. Hard. The squid were angry, even in death, and not at all like the one I used in class. It quickly turned into a perverted science experiment that I wouldn't dream of serving. If I can find non evil squid I will make this. Your way first, and maybe try my mods if later.

[@FeelYourMeal]

6:08 It's alive!!! :D Looks delicious I love it!

[@bacon6181]

I'm going to make this on Halloween!
