Stuffed squid in tomato sauce: Submitted by: Sugar | Date Added: 22 Oct 2009 Ingredients:

1 kg squid
2 tablespoons Bread crumbs
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
100 g mozzarella
2 cloves garlic
2 teaspoons Vegete mediteran
70 ml olive oil

Tomato sauce:
3 tablespoons olive oil
150 g onion
3 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
300 ml Tomato puree
2 teaspoons Vegete mediteran pepper
100 ml sherry (prosecco)
150 g cherry tomato

Cooking Instructions:

Clean the squid and dry with paper towel. Cut off the tentacles and chop them finely. Mix well the tentacles with bread crumbs, parsley, Parmesan, mozzarella cut in cubes, chopped garlic, Vegeta Mediteran and 50 ml of olive oil. Stuff the squid with this mixture using a spoon, but only half-fill them and close each one with a tooth pick. Fry the stuffed squid in remaining oil for about ten minutes.

In another pan, briefly brown sliced onion, chopped garlic and parsley in olive oil for the tomato sauce. Stir in tomato pure, Vegeta Mediteran, pepper and simmer gently for about 5 minutes. Stir in sherry and cherry tomatoes cut in quarters. Continue cooking for another five minutes.

Serve stuffed squid mixed in, or topped with warm tomato sauce and with polenta.
