Stuffed Squid
For this recipe you need to get the whole bodies of the squid including tentacles if possible. Give the fish a good rinse under the cold tap and remove the slippery membrane from inside. The size will vary according to what is available in the market. The finished dish looks lovely when sliced through showing the stuffing.
