Grilled Stuffed Squid Recipe

[Dom]

Oh so yummy to try!

Ingredients:​

For the Stuffing:​

• 1 cup cooked rice (preferably short-grain or sushi rice)
• 1/2 cup cooked chorizo or Italian sausage, crumbled
• 1/4 cup finely chopped onions
• 1/4 cup finely chopped bell peppers (red, green, or a mix)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

For the Squid:​

• 1 pound (450 grams) fresh squid, cleaned and with tentacles removed
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:​

1. Prepare the Stuffing:
   • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and bell peppers and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
   • Add the garlic and cook for another minute.
   • Stir in the crumbled chorizo or sausage and cook until heated through.
   • Remove from heat and mix in the cooked rice, chopped parsley, and Parmesan cheese (if using). Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the stuffing cool slightly.
2. Prepare the Squid:
   • Rinse the squid tubes and pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside.
   • If the squid tubes are large, you can cut them into halves or thirds to make them easier to handle.
   • Season the squid tubes with salt, pepper, olive oil, and lemon juice.
3. Stuff the Squid:
   • Gently spoon the stuffing into each squid tube, being careful not to overfill them (leave a little room for the stuffing to expand as it cooks).
   • Use toothpicks or kitchen twine to seal the open ends of the squid tubes to keep the stuffing inside.
4. Grill the Squid:
   • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
   • Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
   • Place the stuffed squid on the grill and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until the squid is opaque and cooked through, and has nice grill marks. Avoid overcooking, as squid can become tough.
5. Serve:
   • Remove the squid from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.
   • Carefully remove the toothpicks or twine.
   • Slice the stuffed squid into rings or serve whole, garnished with additional chopped parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice if desired.

This grilled stuffed squid pairs well with a side of salad, grilled vegetables, or a light pasta dish. Enjoy your meal!
