So glad you enjoyed. I've actually never seen them to buy, but they are delicious made at home, I agree.

I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed! All sounds delicious. And yes, the stuffing is great for making ahead.

I love Sicilian flavours and your recipe here turned out beautifully with some large squid we had bought. This is a good recipe for both a weekend meal or a dinner party, and the stuffing can be prepared in advance. We ate it with a side salad and steamed potatoes (raspberries and yogurt to follow!). Many thanks, Caroline from a Carolyn x

So glad to hear! I agree, it's a delicious combination and also a great way to try squid too since I find there's less chance of it getting chewy.

Thanks, I can understand - fried is certainly more common but this way is definitely worth a try as well.

I'm not sure that it would work as octopus typically needs longer to cook and so may mean the filling dries out or burns on the edges to give the octopus long enough to become cooked and tender.

Could octopus be used for this recipe instead, i.e stuff their heads?

It's not something I have tried, and am not sure quite how well it would work. Certainly, you'd want to be careful that you don't defrost and re-freeze uncooked squid, and I'd say it would be tricky to re-heat if you cook ahead as squid is all too easy to overcook. A suggestion, though, is you can make the filling ahead of time and then just stuff the squid the day you are serving, which won't take long, and cook in the oven as usual. You should be fine to freeze the filling in a sealed container if you need to make it more than a day or two ahead. Hope it all works out!

Thanks Georgina, it's a delicious mix. Fingers crossed you can find everything and give it a try.

Thanks Denise, it is quite different from calamari but so delicious. Both the squid is tasty and tender and the stuffing has such great flavors.

I hope you enjoy it Colleen - we've already had it again with my parents who have been visiting and they loved it too.

Thanks Karen, I'd say go for a medium-sized one for this but it probably won't matter too much which. I hope you give it a try and enjoy.

Thanks Julie, you really should try this, it's delicious and quite different from calamari rings. Hope you had a good weekend too!

I hope you can find some as this is really tasty!

Aw thanks Wendy, I really hope you enjoy it, we loved it!

Thanks Rebekah, it's so good we've already had it again 🙂
