Grilled Sicilian Stuffed Squid | ||
Description: | This dinner did not work out so well. It happens. I was really looking forward to trying the recipe since it contained several ingredients that I had never cooked with. I bought a 3 lb pound box of frozen squid. The little plastic window on the box showed some nice large pieces. That was a misrepresentation. After 90 minutes preparing the stuffing, I started on the squid. There were two good sized pieces and two dozen small pieces. Do you know how long it takes to clean and stuff that many itty-bitty squid? It took more patience than this hungry man had. The stuffing itself was ok; nothing to write about so I won’t. The recipe is worth another try: maybe next year. |

Directions: | |
1 | Finely chop onion and fennel bulb. | |
2 | Mince and divide garlic, anchovies and fennel fronds. Zest lemon and measure herbs and 2 tsp red pepper flakes. | |
3 | Clean squid | |
4 | Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and prepare an ice bath. Blanch the chard for 1 minute and then shock in the ice bath. Squeeze the chard until completely dry. Finely chop and set aside. | |
5 | In a large saute pan over medium heat add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and when hot add the onion, fennel and sausage. Cook until the vegetables are very tender and translucent, about 8 minutes. | |
6 | Add the lemon zest, 2 teaspoons of garlic, anchovy, fennel fronds, herbs and 2 teaspoons crushed red pepper and continue to cook for another 2 minutes. | |
7 | Remove from the heat and transfer the mixture to a medium size mixing bowl. Add the Swiss chard, bread crumbs, raisins, parmesan cheese and salt and pepper. | |
8 | In a small bowl marinate the squid tentacles in the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon garlic, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper. | |
9 | Preheat the grill to medium high. | |
10 | Using a teaspoon, fill the squid with the stuffing. Be careful not to overfill the squid or it will be squeezed out as the squid cooks. Season the squid with salt and pepper and transfer to a baking sheet or dish. | |
11 | Once the grill is hot, the squid can either be cooked directly on the grill or on the baking sheet. Cook the stuffed squid for 5 to 6 minutes or until the bodies are opaque and the stuffing is hot. Add the tentacles directly to the grill and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until cooked through and slightly browned. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and the parsley over the cooked squid. | |
12 | Serve the stuffed squid and tentacles |
