Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 pound Small squid
1/4 cup Olive oil or corn oil
3 Onions; peeled -- sliced
1/4 cup Vinegar
1/2 cup Dry red wine
2 Cinnamon sticks
4 Whole cloves
1 Bay leaf
Salt & freshly ground pepper

Wash and clean the squid, separating the outer sacs from the heads and
tentacles, removing and discarding the translucent cartilage, and small sand
bag
and ink. Rub salt on the outer sacs and rinse them inside and out with cold
water. Rinse head and tentacles thoroughly.

Heat the oil in a pan, add the squid, including the tentacles, and onions, and
cook slowly until the onions are translucent. Pour the vinegar and wine over
the squid and onions, then add the remaining ingredients and enough water to
almost cover the squid, if necessary. Cook, uncovered, over low heat until the
squid are tender and all the wine has been absorbed, approximately 1 to 1 1/4
hours. Remove the spices and bay leaf.
Cut the squid into bite-sized pieces and serve warm or cold.
