  3. Add the chopped tomatoes, seasoning with salt and pepper and simmer for about 10-15 minutes over medium-low heat.

  4. Add the seasoned squid and combine cook on medium-low heat for about 3 minutes. You don’t want to overcook it and turn it into rubber. When the squid turns opaque and it loses its gelatinous quality it is done. That's it!
