To make squid with tomatoes, potatoes, and pine nuts, you will need:
– 6 medium-sized squid
– 2 large potatoes, peeled and chopped into small cubes
– 3 large tomatoes, chopped
– 1 onion, finely chopped
– 2 cloves of garlic, minced
– 1/2 cup of pine nuts
– 2 tablespoons of olive oil
– Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Clean the squid thoroughly, making sure to remove any remaining bits of skin or bone. Do this by pulling out the head of the squid and the insides, rinsing it under cold water until clean. Then, remove the tentacles, chop them finely, and set them aside.
2. In a large bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes, potatoes, onion, garlic, and pine nuts. Add a pinch of salt and pepper, and mix well.
3. Stuff the squid with the potato and tomato mixture until full, making sure not to overfill. Use toothpicks or kitchen twine to secure the ends of the squid, preventing the stuffing from falling out.
4. Heat olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the stuffed squid and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until brown.
5. Once the squid is cooked, remove it from the frying pan and allow it to rest for a few minutes. Remove the toothpicks or kitchen twine, and cut the stuffed squid into slices.
6. Serve on a bed of fresh greens, with a drizzle of olive oil and a squeeze of lemon juice.
