stuffed squid tubes


Recommended Posts

now where i come from we dont catch many squid so every time i get to adelaide i will hunt out some fresh ones(Whole) then clean as normal but keep all of the meaty bits,flaps/wings,discard the eyes but keep all the stuff from around them also from around the beak, and the tentercles?. Inside the tube you will find two long pieces of nice tender finger like pieces of flesh save these as well.plus the meaty bits above the eyes. give the rest to your burlie mix.clean the tubes and put asidemince or chop all the other stuff (I just cut it into chunks)get a few raw prawn tails,some fish fillets,mabee a couple of mussels,or any other seafoody stuff like cockles,crab etc cut all this in chunks and mix all together with some real butter,cashew nuts,whatever herbs or spice you like(I use fresh chilly,ginger and garlic,salt/pepper .add a few seasoned bread crumbs(not many)and one or two eggs.now just stuff this mixture into the squid tubes ,and sllooooow fry in chilli flavured olive oil,a dash of good soy sauce and butter ,*Cook slow or you will burn the butter(dont use margarine) when cooked thru you can eat hot or as i do let them go cold and slice tubes thru and serve with salad . :P :P ::)

gidday jewie,no the tubes dont go rubbery,remember you have to cook very (very)slow for quite a while,during this time the tubes will go rubbery and then go tender. If the tubes are rubbery yor either havnt cooked them long enough OR you have prepaired your tubes in fresh tap water not salted water,I have found this cooking process ie: very slow/long is also good for octopus cheers peelipeeli11PS another way i do squid and baby octopus is to cut the squid tubes into strips or cut the baby ocky into 4 then marinate over night, get some nice smoked bacon strips .Lay a piece of bacon out then lay merinated squid strips or ocky on top poke a skewer in and out along same then fry or bbq :P:D
