Delicious and healthy Baked Stuffed Squid with Herb Quinoa recipe!
Ingredients
- 4 squids medium-sized
- 1 cup quinoa
- 2 cups water or broth
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion small, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tbsp fresh herbs (such as parsley, basil, or dill), chopped
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese grated
- 2 tbsp bread crumbs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Clean the squid thoroughly, removing the tentacles and innards. Set aside.
- In a saucepan, bring the water or broth to a boil. Add the quinoa and reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the quinoa is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Set aside.
- In a separate pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic and sauté until the onion is translucent.
- Add the cooked quinoa, chopped fresh herbs, salt, and black pepper to the pan with the onion and garlic. Stir to combine.
- Stuff each squid with the quinoa mixture, leaving some room at the top for expansion during cooking. Secure the opening with toothpicks.
- Place the stuffed squids in a baking dish and sprinkle them with grated Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the squid is cooked through and the topping is golden brown.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
