Ingredients

2 pounds small squids (about 16 pieces) fresh or frozen, thawed

1 leek, sliced

2 garlic cloves, chopped

1 can (about 1 cup) crab meat, chopped

½ cup light cream

4 Tbsp brandy

4 Tbsp bread crumbs, divided

2 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Salt and pepper

¼ cup extra virgin Spanish olive oil, plus 2 Tbsp

Directions

Wash thoroughly squids, pat dry and reserve. Chop legs.

In a wide skillet cook leek and garlic in the 1/4 cup olive oil on medium heat until tender, 3-5 minutes. Add chopped legs and mix well. Cook 5 more minutes. Add crab meat, light cream and brandy stirring constantly until alcohol is evaporated, 2-3 minutes.

Sprinkle 3 Tbsp bread crumbs over the mixture in skillet and mix until well combined.

Turn heat off and then add chopped parsley, salt and pepper to taste.

Stuff raw prepared squids with the mixture.

Arrange stuffed squids on a lightly greased baking pan.

Sprinkle squids with the reserved tablespoon of bread crumbs and pour 2 Tbsp olive oil on top.

Cook in preheated 375ºF oven until squids are done but tender and top is nicely brown (about 15 minutes). Do not overcook or squids will shrink and turn tough and dry.

Hi Inmaculada! I love this recipe and can hardly wait to try it. I can't find baby sqid here in Canada-maybe in Toronto but I did find baby cuttlefish-I think that would be ok, what do you think? I am looking forward to making them next weekend. Thanks for posting!
