Ingredients for five:

  • 10 small to medium sized squid
  • ½ glass white wine
  • 1 clove garlic
  • A pinch of chilli pepper
  • A handful of fresh parsley
  • Sultanas (or raisins) and pine nuts
  • 1 egg
  • A little milk
  • Breadcrumbs, salt
  • 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbs of Arancio oil
  • The juice of half an orange

Instructions:

Clean the squid removing the eyes, the interiors, the internal shell and the skin. Chop the tentacles and set aside.

In a pan heat some oil with the garlic clove (remove afterwards), add the tentacles and the squid. Pour the white wine, a pinch of salt, chilli pepper and cook for 3-4 minutes. Don’t let it dry.

In the meantime, soften the sultanas or raisins in a glass of hot water.

In a small dish mix the tentacles, egg, breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, sultanas and pine nuts, add a little milk if necessary to make the mixture more liquid.

Fill the squid and cook them in a pre-heated oven (180°C) for 15 minutes with the cooking liquid previously set aside. Leave to cool and cut into rounds.

Serve with an emulsion of orange oil, orange juice and chopped parsley.
