Squid is a delicious and versatile seafood that can be cooked in many different ways. One of our favorite ways to prepare squid is stuffed with a flavorful filling made with trahana and olives.

This recipe is perfect for a special occasion or just a fancy dinner at home. Here’s how to make it.

Ingredients

4 medium squid
1 cup of trahana
1/2 cup of pitted Kalamata olives
1/2 cup of chopped parsley
1 garlic clove
1/4 cup of olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Clean the squid by removing the head, guts, and tentacles. Rinse the squid under running water and pat dry with paper towels.

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic clove and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant. Add the trahana and cook for 2-3 minutes, until lightly browned.

Add the chopped olives and parsley, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for another minute, then remove from heat.

Stuff the squid with the trahana and olive filling, using toothpicks to secure the opening. Place the stuffed squid in a baking dish and drizzle with olive oil.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, until the squid is cooked through and the filling is golden brown.

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Remove the toothpicks and slice the squid into rounds.

You can serve this stuffed squid with trahana and olive filling as a main course with a side salad, or as an appetizer for a fancy dinner party. Enjoy!.
