Stuffed Squid
Author Clint
Stuffed squid's fun. Get the whole squid, wash and
clean it, remove the head and fingers, dice those up real good. Make a
spinach stuffing (in a sauce pan over the burner on low heat) with
some crab and cream cheese and add the diced fingers and sprinkle
some tarragon on it with lemon juice, dice up a pepper and mix the
stuffing up and fill the body of the squid, use toothpix to pin the
end and broil the stuffed squid on a rack....make sure
the stuffing has been mostly cooked before you put it
in the squid bodies. Turn the bodies twice and brush with melted
butter. Squid, like octopus is more tender when it's on the rare
side of being done...the longer you cook the two...the tougher they
get. Just a suggestion....don't never, ever think you're gonna
tender up an octopus by putting him
in a pressure cooker...a few years ago I thought that
would be the best way to make him easier to chew and went to a
neighbors house (who's not married) and pressure cooked a couple of
octopi....that's a very bad smell once the liquid's gone..and believe
it or not...about 99% of a squid and octopus is water...that's a funny
looking thing when all the water's gone out of him....and a really bad
smell that hangs around for a few days. Pickled octopus is very
tasty.
