| My daughters plate she 'styled'! |
I am so surprised how simple this dish is!
Its another from Gordon Ramsay's book, World Kitchen.
The stuffing is prepared by gently cooking garlic and onion, letting some white wine reduce down then add rice, tomato, a little sugar and seasoning.
Add water and simmer covered until the water is absorbed and the rice is fluffy.
Meanwhile prepare the calamari.
You can see my husband and daughter did a fabulous job!
The rice is allowed to cool, then I added in some peas, mint and parsley.
Carefully fill the calamari and place in a greased dish.
Top with the remaining rice and tentacles, add a little water and bake for half an hour.
It tasted like a really special dish yet did not cost much and was simple to prepare.
I love calamari, bet this is good. Yum yum. Diane
ReplyDeleteThat looks gorgeous! I have been meaning to do a stuffed calamari for a few weeks now - you have inspired me to do it!
ReplyDeleteI usually like my squid fried with cocktail sauce, but this dish looks tasty as well!

ReplyDeleteAMAZING! I've never had stuffed calamari before but LOVE the sound of that. I like dishes like these where it's so complete and wholesome and yet made in one dish/tray to be served to the whole family. Interesting idea, Muppy. I'll keep this in mind for my next calamari dinner!

ReplyDeleteI am very inspired after reading your post and got to try cooking Gordon Ramsay's recipes. I'm a fan of GR but not a "die hard" one at this stage. Need to go to the local library to borrow Gordon's book before committing myself to buy more of his books.
