Prepare the squid:
Separate the tentacles from the tubes.
Chop the tentacles into small pieces and set aside.
Pat dry the tubes with paper towel.
Make the stuffing:
Heat olive oil in a pan,
sauté onion and garlic until softened.
Add chopped tentacles,
cook for 2–3 minutes.
Stir in cherry tomatoes, cooked rice (or breadcrumbs), parsley, lemon juice, chili flakes, salt & pepper.
Cook until mixture comes together, then remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Stuff the squid:
Fill each squid tube about ¾ full with stuffing (don’t overfill as they shrink when cooking). Seal open ends with toothpicks.
Cook the sauce:
In a wide pan, heat olive oil and sauté garlic until fragrant.
Add tinned tomatoes, white wine, paprika, sugar, salt & pepper. Simmer 10 minutes.
Simmer squid:
Gently place stuffed squid into the sauce. Cover and simmer on low for 25–30 minutes, turning halfway through, until squid is tender.
Serve:
Remove toothpicks, slice the squid into rounds, spoon sauce over, and garnish with fresh parsley or basil.
Serving Suggestion:
Serve with crusty bread, a crisp green salad, or buttery mashed potatoes.
A glass of chilled Sauvignon Blanc pairs beautifully.
