Stuffed squid can be served on a festive table as a full-fledged main course or as an appetizer. Recipes can be very different. But the most popular and favorite among housewives are squid stuffed with rice and eggs, as well as squid with mushrooms.
Stuffed squid are prepared in several stages. First, the seafood is cleaned of skin and chitinous plates, washed and boiled in water for several minutes. Then the filling is prepared. Then the carcasses are stuffed and baked in the oven or stewed in sauce over the fire.
Squid with rice and egg
You will need:

Boil the eggs, peel and chop finely. Chop the onion finely and fry in vegetable oil until golden brown. Mix pre-boiled rice with the rest of the ingredients, add medium-sized chopped greens. Season with salt and pepper.
