STUFFED SQUID SICILIAN-STYLE
Squid (or calamari, its Italian name) can be prepared in a variety of ways - fried, braised, grilled and roasted - and all are good. In this recipe whole squid are stuffed before roasting with a bread crumb filling that contains typical Sicilian ingredients like chard, fennel, anchovy, pecorino and pine nuts.

Steps:
- Make the filling: Blanch the chard in boiling water for 1 minute, then drain and cool under running water. Squeeze chard completely dry and finely chop. Set aside.
- Put 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet or wide saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and fennel, season with salt and pepper, and cook until softened and lightly colored, about 10 minutes.
- Add fennel fronds, fennel seed, anchovy, garlic, oregano and red pepper. Cook, stirring, for about 2 minutes more.
- Turn off heat and transfer mixture to a mixing bowl. Add pine nuts, lemon zest, bread crumbs, cheese and reserved cooked chard. Mix well with a wooden spoon. Taste and correct seasoning.
- Heat oven to 375 degrees. Using a teaspoon, put some filling in each squid body, taking care not to overstuff. Place stuffed squid in an earthenware baking dish in one layer. Season squid on both sides with salt and pepper and drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Season tentacles with salt and pepper and arrange them around the edge of dish (alternatively, arrange tentacles in a separate baking dish). Drizzle tentacles lightly with oil. Spoon any remaining stuffing over tentacles.
- Roast uncovered for 15 to 20 minutes, until squid bodies are puffed, sizzling and lightly browned. If desired, run pan under the broiler for more color. Sprinkle with parsley and serve with lemon wedges. (May also be served at room temperature.) Serve each person 3 or 4 squid, with tentacles.

Steps:
- Bring small saucepan of water to a boil; add pinch of salt. Add broccoli, boil 1 1/2 minutes, drain and transfer to bowl of ice water. Drain and set aside.
- Pull tentacles from squid and discard or set aside for another use. Use kitchen shears to cut bodies lengthwise. Open squid, rinse, pat dry and place flat on cutting board. Use sharp knife or Japanese or Chinese cleaver to score each piece vertically, making cuts very close together, like ribs on rigatoni, but taking care not to cut completely through squid. Cut squid horizontally in 2-inch-wide strips. Cut each strip parallel to the scoring in half-inch wide pieces. Sprinkle strips with salt and pepper.
- Mix sake and soy sauce and set aside.
- Heat butter in medium skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté until it starts to sizzle and gives off fragrance. Increase heat to high, add mushroom caps top-side down, sear briefly, turn and add squid strips, then asparagus and then broccoli. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Stir-fry until squid strips start to curl and turn opaque, a minute or so, but are not fully cooked.
- Drizzle sake-soy mixture over ingredients, stir and remove pan from heat. Stir again and transfer to serving dish. Sprinkle with shichimi togarashi and serve.

- Buy the freshest squid you can find. This will ensure the best flavor and texture.
- Clean the squid thoroughly. Remove the head, tentacles, and ink sac. Score the body of the squid in a crisscross pattern to help it cook evenly.

- Use a variety of cooking methods. Squid can be baked, grilled, fried, or sautéed. Each method will produce a different flavor and texture.
- Season the squid well. Squid has a mild flavor, so it is important to season it well. Use a variety of herbs, spices, and seasonings to create a flavorful dish.
- Serve the squid with a variety of sides. Squid can be served with rice, pasta, potatoes, or vegetables. It can also be served with a dipping sauce, such as marinara sauce or tartar sauce.
Conclusion:
Squid is a versatile and delicious seafood that can be cooked in a variety of ways. With its mild flavor and tender texture, squid is a great choice for both beginners and experienced cooks.
