stuffed squid
Packed tentacled dish
Stuffed squid is a dish in which cleaned squid bodies are filled with a mixture—typically containing the chopped tentacles, breadcrumbs, herbs, and sometimes rice or seafood—then braised, baked, or grilled.
The preparation appears across Mediterranean, Asian, and Latin American cuisines: We ordered the stuffed squid at the Greek taverna.
The squid's natural tube shape makes it ideal for stuffing.
