2 cloves of garlic
1 red bell pepper
1/2 cup mirin
1 15 oz can crushed tomatoes
10 leaves of basil
2 sprigs of thyme
1 sprig of oregano
1 bay leaf
3/4 cup green peas
1/3 flat leaf parsley
salt
black and cayene pepper to taste

Directions:
1. In sauce pot, saute minced onion and garlic and thinly sliced red pepper for 1 1/2 minutes. Add in the squid cut into rings and saute for another 1 1/2 minute.
2. Deglaze the pot with mirin, add in the tomato paste and crushed tomatoes. Add in the herbs(except the parsley leaves) and season. Cover and simmer for 2 hours or place in the oven for 2 hours.
3. Add in the peas and simmer for 3 minutes. garnish with the chopped parsley leaves.
