Method
- Bring a pan of water to the boil. Meanwhile clean the cuttlefish (if not already cleaned): remove the bone, eyes, beak and ink sac, peel off the skin, rinse and cut into strips about 1 cm wide. Wash the chard well.
- Salt the water and blanch the chard for 4 minutes, until wilted; drain, squeeze it well and chop roughly.
- Peel and chop the onion and garlic. Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium-low heat and fry the onion, garlic and chilli for 4–5 minutes, until the onion is translucent; add the cuttlefish and cook for 5 minutes over medium heat, until it turns white.
- Deglaze with the white wine over high heat until the smell of alcohol has gone, then add the chard, the crushed peeled tomatoes and a pinch of salt; cover and cook for 25 minutes over low heat, stirring now and then, until the cuttlefish is tender to a fork and the sauce is thick.
- Meanwhile slice the bread and toast it in a pan or toaster for 2–3 minutes, until crisp; serve it with the hot zimino.
