Then sprinkle the vegetable with flour and stir thoroughly. Add sour cream, bring the mixture to a boil, periodically mixing the ingredients so that lumps do not appear. Place prepared squids. Mix the ingredients, season to taste, and cover the container with a lid. Simmer the squid with onions in sour cream sauce for about five minutes. Then add paprika, mix and remove from heat.
Stewed squid in sour cream and onions
Stewed squid in sour cream: the recipe for the dish with the addition of onions differs from the classic one. During processing, onions release a certain bitterness that easily permeates the tender squid meat. Also, the vegetable in the recipe gives the dish a little freshness.
Composition of ingredients

- 200 grams of fat sour cream;
- 600 g squid meat;
- 50 grams of wheat flour;

The consistency of the finished cream sauce, as well as the calorie content of the finished dish, depends on the fat content of sour cream.
Step-by-step cooking process
Cooking stewed squid with onions does not take much time.
Step-by-step cooking process:
- The squid fillet must be treated with boiling water and peeled, after which the meat must be beaten using kitchen milk. This technique will make the product even softer.
- The prepared fillet should be cut into medium-sized slices. Place the seafood in a separate bowl, add salt and any spices of your choice. In this case, you can use nutmeg and paprika. It is not recommended to add garlic to a dish with a lot of onions.
- Each slice of squid meat needs to be rolled in flour, then fried on both sides in butter. Squid cooks quickly, so there is no need for a lot of oil. The readiness of seafood is determined by the appearance of a golden crust on the surface of the meat.
- Using the remaining butter, fry the onion, cut into thin rings. The onions should be placed on top of the squid meat, then pour a large amount of sour cream over the food.

After you've raided the store and selected a couple of fresh squids for your next dinner, a new question arises: how should you properly clean squid?
