Stuffed squid is a classic Mediterranean seafood dish, simple yet incredibly flavorful—perfect for Sunday lunches or special occasions.
Squid (totani) are affordable, versatile, and easy to prepare. Once cleaned, their bodies are filled with a savory stuffing made from chopped tentacles, breadcrumbs, capers, parsley, and anchovies, then baked in the oven with white wine and garlic.
The result is a tender, aromatic dish with a rich, slightly briny filling that pairs beautifully with lemon and simple sides.
