  • 1 bouquet Parsley, fresh

  • 120 g Breadcrumbs, dried

  • 2 pinch Salt, table

  • 0.5 dl Oil, olive

Steps

  1. Clean the squid thoroughly, wash them well, and dry them with a kitchen towel. Peel the garlic and chop it finely. Thoroughly wash the parsley and thyme, strip the thyme leaves and chop them finely along with the parsley.

  2. Finely chop the tentacles and mix them in a bowl with the garlic, parsley, and breadcrumbs, then season with salt to taste. Stuff the squid with the prepared filling and secure them with toothpicks. Place a frying pan on the stove and heat the oil.

  3. Sear the stuffed squid over moderate heat for about 5 minutes on each side, then add a little white wine and cover the pan. Simmer the squid for about 15 minutes until they become tender. Then serve them on plates, drizzle with the sauce from the pan, and garnish with fresh thyme leaves. Serve with a glass of semi-sweet white wine on the side.
