Instructions:
-
Rinse the frozen, cleaned squids. If purchased whole, remove the internal organs of the squid by pulling from the tail. Remove the outer skin by grasping the ends and pulling quickly. Take the transparent bone in the middle in one piece and clean it by washing it with plenty of water.
-
Peel the onion and chop it finely into small cubes. Peel the garlic and grate it finely. Chop the shrimps into small pieces.
-
Add sliced mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes and red capsicum to the roasted onions, and sauté together until the vegetables absorb their water and take on color.
-
Wipe the tops of the cultivated mushrooms with a damp cloth. Thinly slice the sun-dried tomatoes and mushrooms. Clean the seeds of the capia pepper and chop it into small cubes.
-
Heat the olive oil in a large pan and add the onions and sauté until they begin to colour. Then add the garlic and turn a turn or two.
-
Fill the inner parts of the previously cleaned and washed squid with the stuffing and fasten the ends with toothpicks. Apply olive oil on them and place them in a pre-heated cast iron pan. At this stage, you can add garlic and fresh thyme to add flavor.
-
Remove the cooked stuffing from the heat and season it with soy sauce, salt and spices. Since soy sauce is a very salty product, use salt in moderation. When the mixture cools down, add grated cheddar cheese and mix.
-
Note: Since squid is a seafood that hardens as it cooks, the cast iron grill or pan must be very well heated and cooked quickly.
-
You can serve cooked stuffed squid with lemon and fresh greens. Enjoy your meal!
