Adventurous Canadian celebrity chef and TV host with Italian roots David Rocco provides a recipe for Stuffed Calamari!
Ingredients (Serves 6)
- 6 medium squid, cleaned
For the stuffing:
- 2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 cup spicy salami, cubed
- 1 cup provola cheese, freshly grated
- 1 cup fresh flat leaf parsley, chopped
- 1 cup parmigiano cheese, freshly grated
- 2/3 cup olive oil
- 2 tsp Salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup white wine
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 cup white wine
Instructions for Stuffed Calamari
- Clean the squid. Cut the tentacles off and make sure the opening is large enough to stuff.
- In a mixing bowl, combine all ingredients for the stuffing.
- Stuff each squid with the mixture, leaving about an inch at the top. Seal the opening by threading a toothpick a few times.
- In a large frying pan, heat up olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and saute for a minute until the garlic begins to turn slightly brown. Then add calamari and cook on both sides, until the meat becomes opaque. Add in wine and a bit more parsley. Reduce the heat to medium low, cover the pan with a lid, and cook for about ten minutes, letting the wine reduce and the squid finish cooking.
