Stuffed calamari with white wine is a flavorful and fragrant second course that is simple to prepare.
Once the calamari are emptied and cleaned, they are stuffed with a mixture of breadcrumbs and finely chopped tentacles.
Many sauté the stuffing mixture in a pan before filling the calamari, but I prefer to boast my lighter version, which is equally delicious!
Stuffed calamari with white wine is a classic dish of Italian cuisine, and can be cooked in the oven or pan; with white wine or tomatoes.
No matter your personal taste, the result will surely be excellent!
Once cooked, let them cool slightly and cut them into rings, where you can see how the filling is compact and perfectly adheres to the squid walls.
Stuffed calamari with white wine accompanied by a fresh salad is a great second course for a light and tasty dinner.
