  • About

Squid are enjoyed in many Provençal dishes. They blend beautifully with all the flavourful southern vegetables. In this recipe they are stuffed and then simmered in white wine.

Ingredients

  • 1 kg (2 lb) squid
  • 2 garlic cloves, chopped finely

Method

To clean the squid, hold the sac in one hand and pull off the head and tentacles with the other. Some of the insides will come away with the head. Cut off the tentacles in front of the eyes. You will feel a tiny hard lump at the top of the tentacles: squeeze it out and discard. Reserve the tentacles. Remove all the rest of the insides of the sac, including the long, flexible quill, and discard.
