These are simple to make and wonderful to eat. No, they will not look like squid when you are finished with them.
|
| What You Need: |
|
|
3 pounds cleaned squid, bodies intact and tentacles finely chopped
¼ cup chopped parsley
4 cloves garlic, peeled and finely chopped
3 large shallots, peeled and finely chopped
1/8 pound prosciutto, chopped
¼ cup grated Romano cheese
Juice of ½ lemon
Salt and ground white pepper to taste
¼ cup olive oil
GARNISH
Lemon wedges

| How To Cook: |
|
|
1. Mix together the chopped squid and all the other ingredients well, except the olive oil and garnish.
|
2. Stuff the mixture into the bodies of the squid and, using a toothpick, seal the ends.
|
3. Do not fill them too full because they shrink when cooking and too much filling will prove to be a problem.
|
4. Saute the stuffed squid gently in the olive oil, about 3 minutes per side. Serve with lemon wedges.
|
TIP ON CLEANING SQUID:
Buy frozen or fresh squid that are about 5 to 6 inches long. Pull off the head and set aside. Squeeze out the filling from the tube and discard. Rinse the tube and remove the clear plastic-like backbone of the creature. You can save the tentacles, but not the head, for other dishes.
