Calamars a la sitgetana

Calamars a la sitgetana is a traditional Catalan dish originating from Sitges. The dish is usually made with a combination of squid, olive oil, vegetable oil, onions, garlic, white wine, thyme, bay leaves, fennel seeds, fish stock, and parsley. The squid is sliced into rings and tentacles, and then cooked in olive oil and vegetable oil until opaque. It is then removed from the pan, and the onions and garlic are sautéed in the same oil. Thyme, bay leaves, fennel seeds, and wine are added to the pan and brought to a boil. The dish is simmered until the squid is tender and the sauce has been reduced. The bay leaves and thyme are removed, and the dish is served in a deep bowl, garnished with chopped parsley.
