Now we’ll
learn how to prepare this typical dish: Squids are very common in Italy and we love
stuffing them.
Ingredients
(Metric and Imperial): Party of 4
- 4 middle squids
- 6-7 green or black pitted olives
- 100g (3-4oz) of Tuna in oil
- 2 slices of sandwich bread
- 1 clove of garlic, finely chopped
- 4 basil leaves (finely chopped)
- 240 ml (1 cup) of white wine
- 1 egg
- 30g (2 Tablespoons) of Parmigiano cheese
Method:
- Boil squids for 1 minute: this will restrict them at their final size (so they will not explode in your pan while cooking)
- Put in a bowl tuna (drained),the squids’ tentacles, sandwich bread, garlic, wine (half cup),Parmigiano, basil and the egg and mix them with your hands until you get a homogeneous mixture.
- Stuff you squids with this mixture
- Close the squids with toothpicks
- In a nonstick pan put olive oil, a clove of garlic and turn on the low flame
- After one minute add the stuffed squids and the other ½ cup of wine
- Cover your pan with his top and after 3 minutes turn over the squids and cover it again
- In other 3 minutes they will be ready: serve them with the sauce on the top
