The method of preparation of squid stuffed with vegetables and cheese

Thawed squid carcasses inside clean - remove the insides and the transparent plate (chord). The peel for stuffed squids can be left, it easily peels off during the cooking process, but if you remove it yourself without any problems with raw carcasses, you can also clean the skin at this stage of cooking.

Squid cleaned from the insides, in turn, lower in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, immediately transfer to cold water, rinse to rinse all unnecessary. Put the prepared carcasses on paper towels, dry.

Cut the onion finely, sweet pepper into cubes. Pour a tablespoon of olive oil into the pan, add the same amount of butter, put onion and pepper, fry for 7 minutes.

Rub carrots on a coarse grater. Cut the tomato into small cubes. Finely chop a bunch of parsley with sprigs. Add the carrots and tomato to the pan, after 10 minutes we put the greens. All together, salt to taste, pepper, add a pinch of granulated sugar, warm for a few more minutes.

Put slightly cooled vegetables in a bowl, add grated parmesan, mix.

We fill the carcasses with minced meat not very densely, squids will shrink under the influence of heat, if there are a lot of fillings, then it can get out and burn on the grill.

We heat the grill. Grease stuffed carcasses with olive oil, put on a hot grill. Cook for 3 minutes on each side, this time is enough, squids will remain juicy and tender.

Serve squids stuffed with vegetables and cheese, warm or cold on the table, delicious in any case. Squids do not need anything other than a dried slice of ciabatta, grated with a clove of garlic and sprinkled with olive oil.
