Ingredients
  

  • 4 squids medium-sized
  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 2 cups water or broth
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion small, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh herbs (such as parsley, basil, or dill), chopped
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese grated
  • 2 tbsp bread crumbs

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Clean the squid thoroughly, removing the tentacles and innards. Set aside.
  • In a saucepan, bring the water or broth to a boil. Add the quinoa and reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the quinoa is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Set aside.
  • In a separate pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic and sauté until the onion is translucent.
  • Add the cooked quinoa, chopped fresh herbs, salt, and black pepper to the pan with the onion and garlic. Stir to combine.
  • Stuff each squid with the quinoa mixture, leaving some room at the top for expansion during cooking. Secure the opening with toothpicks.
  • Place the stuffed squids in a baking dish and sprinkle them with grated Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the squid is cooked through and the topping is golden brown.
  • Serve hot and enjoy!
