👩‍🍳 Step-by-step guide to perfect stuffed squid

1️⃣ Prepare the filling 🦑
Thoroughly clean the squid, empty them, and cut their tentacles and fins into small pieces. In a bowl, mix these pieces with breadcrumbs, egg, cinnamon, nutmeg, chopped garlic, and parsley. Stir well until you get a homogeneous mixture.

2️⃣ Stuff the squid 🥄
Fill the squid with the mixture and seal them with toothpicks to prevent them from opening during cooking.

3️⃣ Prepare the sauce 🍅🥜
In a large pot, sauté a piece of bread, almonds, and peeled tomatoes. Meanwhile, in a mortar, prepare a paste with garlic, parsley, and saffron. Add it to the pot to enhance the sauce’s flavour.

4️⃣ Cook the squid 🔥
Place the stuffed squid in the pot and cook them slowly over low heat, allowing them to absorb all the flavours. Add a small glass of white wine and let the sauce reduce.

5️⃣ The final touch 🍞
Fry a few slices of bread and serve them alongside the squid. For the perfect pairing, add white rice and enjoy this exquisite dish.
