Ingredients:

Serving

4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp pine nuts
2 tbsp currants
1 tbsp hot chili flakes
2 cups basic tomato sauce
1 cup israeli couscous , blanched two minutes and refreshed
1 1/2 lb cleaned calamari, tubes cut into 1/4 inch rounds, tentacles halved
salt and pepper to taste
3 scallions, thinly sliced
basic tomato sauce
1 spanish onion, cut into 1/4-inch dice
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
3 oz virgin olive oil
4 tbsp fresh thyme leaves (or 2 tbsp dried leaves )
1/2 carrot, shredded finely
2 28 - oz cans of tomatoes, crushed and mixed
salt to taste

Directions:

In a 12 to 14-inch saute pan, heat oil until just smoking. Add pine nuts, currants and chili flakes and saute until nuts are just golden brown, about 2 minutes. Add caper berries, tomato sauce and couscous and bring to a boil. Add calamari, stir to mix and simmer two to three minutes, or until calamari is just cooked and completely opaque. Season with salt and pepper, pour into a large warm bowl, sprinkle with scallions and serve with warm Panelle.
To Make Tomato Sauce: Saute onion and garlic in olive oil over medium heat for about 10 minutes, or until translucent but not browned. Add thyme and carrot, cook 5 minutes over medium heat and add tomatoes. Bring to boil, lower heat to just bubbling and simmer 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt to taste and set aside.
