Chef Yoshimi Hidaka from Ristorante Acquapazza shares his foolproof recipe for stuffed squid. Learn the secrets to easily recreate this authentic Italian party dish at home.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients (6-8 servings)

  • Squid 6 pcs
  • Breadcrumbs 160g
  • Eggs 3 pcs
  • Anchovies 4 pcs
  • Black Olives 40g
  • Parmesan Cheese 40g
  • Garlic 4 cloves
  • Parsley 3-4 tbsp
  • Capers 2 tbsp
  • Lemon (for zest) to taste
  • Squid Tentacles 6 portions

Seasonings

  • Olive Oil to taste
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • White Wine 400cc

Steps

  1. Insert your finger into the body of the squid and pull it out, separating it from the base of the tentacles.
  2. Remove the squid ink from the extracted guts and set aside.
  3. Cut off the top part of the guts; discard the portion below the eyes.
  4. Remove the beaks from the squid tentacles.
  5. Remove the eyes from the squid tentacles while submerged in water.
  6. Remove the cartilage from the squid body.
  7. Lightly rinse the inside of the squid body. [Key Tip!] If using squid with roe, do not remove all of it for a more delicious result.
  8. Finely chop 40g of black olives and place them in a bowl.
  9. Add 2 tbsp of capers to the bowl.
  10. Finely chop 4 anchovies and 4 cloves of garlic and add them to the bowl.
  11. Add a small amount of olive oil to taste to the bowl, add about half of the 160g of breadcrumbs, and mix well. Add the remaining breadcrumbs.
  12. Add 40g of Parmesan cheese and 3-4 tbsp of chopped parsley to the bowl.
  13. Grate the zest of lemon to taste and add it to the bowl.
  14. Crack 3 eggs into the bowl and mix well until all ingredients are uniformly combined.
  15. Finely chop the prepared 6 portions of squid tentacles, add them to the stuffing mixture in the bowl, and mix well.
  16. Divide the prepared stuffing into 6 portions.
  17. Starting from the deepest part of the squid body, stuff the filling little by little, ensuring no air pockets are formed.
  18. Secure the opening of the stuffed squid body firmly with a skewer.
  19. Heat a frying pan, add olive oil to taste, and place the squid secured with skewers. Lightly sear the surfaces.
  20. Pour 400cc of white wine into the frying pan, enough to cover the squid.
  21. Once the white wine boils, cover the pan and simmer for about 30 minutes.
  22. Flip the squid once during the simmering process. If the liquid has reduced, it is cooked to perfection.
  23. Plate and serve. Enjoy!
