Friday Squid Blogging: Calamari Ripieni Recipe

Nice and easy Calamari Ripieni recipe, along with general instructions on cooking squid:

Tenderizing squid is as simple as pounding it flat -- if you're going to turn it into a steak. Otherwise, depending on the size of the squid, you can simply trim off the tentacles and slice the squid body, or mantle, into rings that can be grilled, sautéed, breaded and fried, added to soup, added to salad or pasta, or marinated. You can also ­ as chef Accursio Lota of Solare does -- stuff the squid with bread crumbs and aromatics and quickly bake it or grill it to serve with salad.

As usual, you can also use this squid post to talk about the security stories in the news that I haven't covered.
