Stuffed Lulas Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

1

Prepare the Filling

In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic, sautéing until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in the cooked rice, chopped parsley, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix well and remove from heat.

2

Stuff the Squid

Using a spoon, carefully fill each squid tube with the rice mixture, leaving some space at the top. Secure the ends with toothpicks or kitchen twine.

3

Prepare the Sauce

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and heat. Pour in the crushed tomatoes and white wine. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally.

4

Cook the Stuffed Squid

Gently place the stuffed squid into the sauce. Cover and cook on low heat for about 20 minutes, or until the squid is tender.

5

Serve

Remove the toothpicks or twine from the squid. Serve the stuffed lulas hot, drizzled with the Mediterranean sauce.
