Stuffed Calamari Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Stuffing

    In a bowl, combine the jumbo lump crab meat, breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, chopped basil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

  2. 2

    Stuff the Calamari

    Carefully stuff each cleaned calamari tube with the crab mixture, leaving a little space at the end. Secure the open ends with toothpicks or kitchen twine.

  3. 3

    Sear the Stuffed Calamari

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the stuffed calamari and sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.

  4. 4

    Add Liquid Ingredients

    Pour the white wine and light tomato sauce into the skillet. Add the peas and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

  5. 5

    Braised Cooking

    Cover the skillet and let the calamari braise in the sauce for about 15-20 minutes, or until the calamari is cooked through and tender.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove the toothpicks or twine from the calamari. Serve the braised calamari in bowls, spooning some of the sauce and peas over the top.
