INGREDIENTS
2 whole squids
1 cup of yesterday’s bread
1 portobello mushroom
1 bunch of italian parsley
Melted butter as needed
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
- First, we need to prepare our squid by separating the head. You can do so by gasping the tail on one hand, and the head on the other, and pull apart.
- Then, remove the tail tube, the innards and after that, be sure to take out the teeth in the suction cups and the beak in the middle of the tentacles.
- Once it is all done, we need to remove the skin membrane. You can use a paper towel to help you with that.
- After preparing our squid, we will need to make the filling. Put in a blender: 1 cup bread, 1 portobello mushroom, 1 whole bunch of Italian parsley, salt and pepper to taste, the tentacles you removed previously, and fin. If the filling feels to dry, you can make it a lot smoother by adding milk.
- When you got all the filling in the right consistency, then we just need to fill our squids and seal it with some toothpicks.
- Once the grill is ready, slightly score the squid and put it in medium heat for 15 minutes each side. Flip, and cook on higher heat for 5 more minutes approximately.
- Once plated, we can pour some melted butter on top and correct the flavors with salt and pepper, lemon juice, and decorate with endives for ideal pairing.
