👨🍳 Instrukcje
- 1
Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F).
- 2
In a bowl, combine the rice, chopped squid tentacles, chopped onion, minced garlic, parsley, mint, tomato paste, salt, and pepper. If using, add the ground meat. Mix well.
- 3
Stuff the squid bodies with the rice mixture, filling them about two-thirds full to allow for rice expansion. Secure the opening with a toothpick if necessary.
- 4
In an oven-safe dish, combine the crushed tomatoes, white wine, lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
- 5
Arrange the stuffed squid in the dish, ensuring they are nestled in the tomato sauce. Drizzle with a little more olive oil.
- 6
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until the squid is tender and the rice is cooked through.
- 7
Let rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve hot with crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
