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
- Insert your finger into the body of the squid and pull it out, separating it from the base of the tentacles.
- Remove the squid ink from the extracted guts and set aside.
- Cut off the top part of the guts; discard the portion below the eyes.
- Remove the beaks from the squid tentacles.
- Remove the eyes from the squid tentacles while submerged in water.
- Remove the cartilage from the squid body.
- 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.
- Finely chop 40g of black olives and place them in a bowl.
- Add 2 tbsp of capers to the bowl.
- Finely chop 4 anchovies and 4 cloves of garlic and add them to the bowl.
- 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.
- Add 40g of Parmesan cheese and 3-4 tbsp of chopped parsley to the bowl.
- Grate the zest of lemon to taste and add it to the bowl.
- Crack 3 eggs into the bowl and mix well until all ingredients are uniformly combined.
- Finely chop the prepared 6 portions of squid tentacles, add them to the stuffing mixture in the bowl, and mix well.
- Divide the prepared stuffing into 6 portions.
- Starting from the deepest part of the squid body, stuff the filling little by little, ensuring no air pockets are formed.
- Secure the opening of the stuffed squid body firmly with a skewer.
- Heat a frying pan, add olive oil to taste, and place the squid secured with skewers. Lightly sear the surfaces.
- Pour 400cc of white wine into the frying pan, enough to cover the squid.
- Once the white wine boils, cover the pan and simmer for about 30 minutes.
- Flip the squid once during the simmering process. If the liquid has reduced, it is cooked to perfection.
- Plate and serve. Enjoy!
