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

Delicious! I've been ordering these from a local store, but this recipe was so good, I'll be making them from scratch from now on.

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

In reply to Caroline's Cooking.

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.

This was my first time trying squid and it won't be my last. I love the range of flavours and textures included in this delicious meal!

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

Such a flavor packed squid dish. Never had squid any way but fried. Can't wait to try this.

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!

I'm expecting Italian guests and this seems perfect but if they come on a weekday, I'll need time to prepare so it's ready to pop in the oven.
Thanks for sharing!

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.

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!

There are so many squid types at my Asian market, I never know quite what to buy. Your Italian squid sounds amazing.
