Time 55m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 head red radicchio
6 medium-size squid or calamari
2 ounces bacon, sliced
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup fresh bread crumbs moistened in water and squeezed dry
1 egg
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup white wine

Steps:

  • Core and slice the radicchio into 1/4-inch slices.
  • Clean squid by removing the ink sac and the intestinal matter and discard. Cut off the tentacles and set aside both the squid and the tentacles.
  • In a frying pan, saute the bacon until slightly brown. Add the radicchio and tentacles, and salt and pepper to taste. Cover and cook over low heat until the radicchio goes limp, about 4 minutes, adding water if needed. Remove ingredients to chopping board or food processor. Chop finely.
  • Place the chopped mixture in a medium-size bowl and add the bread crumbs and egg. Mix thoroughly.
  • Stuff each squid with the mixture. Place the squid with the extra-virgin olive oil in a skillet and cook over moderate heat about 20 minutes, basting with wine.

I cooked the calamari for a few minutes too long, and it turned out a bit tough. I would recommend cooking the calamari for less time, or until it is just cooked through.

I used a different type of breadcrumb in the stuffing, and it turned out a bit dry. I would recommend using the breadcrumbs specified in the recipe.

I'm not a fan of bell peppers, so I omitted them from the stuffing. The dish was still delicious, and the calamari was cooked perfectly.
