About Calamares a la americana

Calamares a la Americana is a Spanish-inspired dish of tender calamari simmered in a savory tomato-based sauce infused with olive oil, garlic, onion, and white wine for added depth. This Mediterranean staple often includes herbs like parsley and paprika, lending it a bold yet comforting flavor profile. Originating from Spain’s rich culinary tradition, the dish highlights the use of fresh seafood and wholesome ingredients. Calamari is an excellent source of lean protein and essential nutrients like selenium, vitamin B12, and phosphorus. Olive oil provides heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, while tomatoes contribute antioxidants such as lycopene. However, the dish can be high in sodium depending on the recipe, and its calorie count may increase with added bread for dipping. Served hot and vibrant, Calamares a la Americana makes for a flavorful appetizer or main course option that aligns with Mediterranean dietary principles.
