Time 55m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 head red radicchio
6 medium-size squid or calamari
2 ounces bacon, sliced
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup fresh bread crumbs moistened in water and squeezed dry
1 egg
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup white wine

Steps:

  • Core and slice the radicchio into 1/4-inch slices.
  • Clean squid by removing the ink sac and the intestinal matter and discard. Cut off the tentacles and set aside both the squid and the tentacles.
  • In a frying pan, saute the bacon until slightly brown. Add the radicchio and tentacles, and salt and pepper to taste. Cover and cook over low heat until the radicchio goes limp, about 4 minutes, adding water if needed. Remove ingredients to chopping board or food processor. Chop finely.
  • Place the chopped mixture in a medium-size bowl and add the bread crumbs and egg. Mix thoroughly.
  • Stuff each squid with the mixture. Place the squid with the extra-virgin olive oil in a skillet and cook over moderate heat about 20 minutes, basting with wine.

Another family recipe I got from Italian friends while living in Naples. This is so easy if you can find the squid.

Categories     Squid

Time 1h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 lbs squid, cleaned
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons minced parsley
2 tablespoons minced celery
2 tablespoons minced onions
1/2 cup breadcrumbs, see notes
4 tablespoons virgin olive oil, divided
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Remove tenticles and leave the body whole. Saute the onion, celery and garlic in half the olive oil. Chop the tentacles fine and saute them for a few minutes. Add the parsley and bread crumbs, mixing well. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
  • Stuff the squid, but not too much, and close the opening with a toothpick. They will shrink during the cooking and if stuffed too full they'll split open. Saute them in the bottom of a heavy pot in a little olive oil on all sides.
  • Pour your favorite marinara sauce over and cook for about 45 minutes, over very low heat, until tender. You can make this ahead and reheat it - it gets even better.
