My thoughts:
When I saw cleaned squid at the grocery shop I knew I had to piece of employment it. I've been wanting to brand stuffed calamari for years simply the few times I've seen squid, it has been sold every bit a combo of tubes too tentacles too since the tentacles are heavier too seemingly to a greater extent than numerous than tubes, I'd accept to pass a fortune to piece of employment plenty squid tubes to materials too thence I'd accept to brand something amongst a duet of pounds of tentacles really presently afterwards. This fourth dimension the tubes too tentacles were sold separately. So I bought a pound of tubes (about 10? tubes)and thence scrambled to intend of something to fill upwardly them with. I had noticed eggplants when I get-go walked into the shop too they looked actually expert thence I went dorsum too picked some up. I'm glad I did because I ended upwardly making an Italian inspired dish too these inward flavour eggplants were non exclusively tasty simply the perfect texture for stuffing the squid. The halt number was wonderful. The squid wasn't chewy too the eggplant was velvety. I kept the tomato plant sauce unproblematic too it didn't overpower the seafood at all.
