SAUTEED CALAMARI IN MARINARA SAUCE

Steps:

• 1)Sauté hot peppers (add more or less depending on the spice level you prefer), capers, black olives, in a bit of olive oil, with a bit of salt, pepper, and oregano. Medium heat, roughly 4 minutes. 2)Toast your bread crumbs in another pan with a little butter... simply toasted, not burnt. 3)Add your marinara sauce (can be home-made or not) in with the peppers, etc., until warm, then add your fresh calamari for roughly 2 minutes. Adirondack Bob says "You want them cooked, not rubberized." They cook quickly fresh, any longer and they will become rubbery. 4)De-seed your lemons wedges. 5)Pour your calamari dish into your serving dish, add your toasted bread crumbs on top. Add your lemon wedges. Enjoy!
