Squid stuffed with rice and vegetables
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Serve the squid stuffed with rice and vegetables hot or warm. If you don't want to fry the squid in a pan, you can simply heat them in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for just five minutes, as all the ingredients are already cooked. If you have the opportunity to use fresh (not frozen) squid, this dish can make an excellent semi-finished product, perfect for unexpected guests. Simply freeze the squid stuffed with rice and vegetables, then when needed, reheat them in the oven. And voilà: a delicious and unusual dish is ready to be served.
