Sausage Stuffed Squid with Stir-Fried Greens


 I bought a couple pounds of squid the other day. To prep, I cut off the tentacles and discarded the heads. Do save the tentacles for reuse! Cleaning was the worst part here getting all the ink and gunk out of the squid. I read somewhere that you're supposed to turn the squid inside out to prevent curling. So let me tell you....that is one tedious step!!! It took me forever to do all the squids.

Now for the stuffing, I ended up mincing some of the tentacles and tossing it in with a diced sausage mixture that I came up with. Salt, pepper, oregano, garlic and more garlic! The picture above are the stuffed squids and I went ahead and drizzled EVOO over the squids and the orange bell peppers.
I set the oven at about 350 with really no idea of how long to put them in. Just eye-balled it. When I felt that it was almost done baking, I turned it on broil to get the golden crust look on top.

 These are snow pea leaves. Some good EVOO, dash of salt and pepper, minced garlic, and some of the squid tentacles.
Here's the final plating and I just felt that red wine would go well with the sausage stuffed squids. I suppose a good fruit-based white wine would have worked here too for seafood. Enjoy!
