Grilled Stuffed Calamaretti-Involtini di Calamaretti con Mozzarela e Basilica Recipe
Calamaretti are so simple but whenever I make them for a grill party, they are the hit of the meal.
Ingredients
- 12 very small squids, (calamaretti)
- 2 medium size mozzarella balls
- Several basil leaves
- Salt, to taste
Directions
- FILLING
- Put the mozzarella and several basil leaves into a food processor and chop until the basil and cheese have melded together. Or you may chop both by hand very finely.
- PREPARATION
- Remove the tentacles, sac, beak, eyes and spine and wash any sand off the squid. Fill each tube with the cheese and basil mixture and close the opening with a toothpick. The opening of the squid is be very small and is sometimes a little difficult to fill.
- GRILL
- Place the filled squid on a hot grill and cook for only few minutes. Any longer and the squid will be very rubbery. Turn the squid a few times to get all the sides grilled.
- Salt them immediately after taking them off the grill and serve them immediately when they are hot and the mozzarella is still stringy.

What a simple yet tasty way of making baby stuffed squids.
I no longer have a grill...but that won't stop me.
The next time I'm at the fish market...these are getting made!
Thanks for the simplicity in your dish.
Flavourful wishes, Claudia
