Stuffed Squid: Kalamarakia Yemista image

Provided by Bobby Flay

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h40m

Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons Greek olive oil, plus 1/4 cup
1 Spanish onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 1/2 cups long-grain rice
2 plum tomatoes, diced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint leaves
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 1/2 pounds baby squid, cleaned
1/2 cup tomato juice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Heat 3 tablespoons of the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until soft. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the rice and stir to coat with the mixture; cook for 1 minute. Add 3 cups water, tomatoes, season with salt and pepper, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and cook until the rice is tender and the water is completely absorbed, about 14 to 16 minutes. Remove from the heat and let sit 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and stir in the mint and parsley. Let cool.
  • Stuff the squid with the rice mixture. Drizzle half of the remaining oil in a medium baking dish. Add the squid and drizzle with remaining oil and the tomato juice and season with salt and pepper. Bake until the squid is tender, about 25 to 30 minutes. Serve immediately.

KALAMARAKIA YEMISTA



Kalamarakia Yemista image

This Greek dish takes time and effort but is something special to offer at a dinner party. Serve with rice or with mashed potatoes (see page 297).

Yield serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 pounds small squid (about 14 baby squid)
4 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons pine nuts
2/3 cup short-grain rice
3 tablespoons raisins
Salt
1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 pound tomatoes, peeled and chopped
1 cup dry white or red wine
2 teaspoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground chili pepper (optional)
3 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Clean and prepare the squid as described in box on page 198.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a small pan. Add the pine nuts, and stir so that they are lightly colored all over. Stir in the rice and raisins, and add a little salt and 1 cup water. Stir and simmer over low heat for 10 minutes, until the water is absorbed. Fill each squid about two-thirds full only, to allow the rice to expand. Secure the openings with toothpicks.
  • For the sauce: Fry the onion in the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil until golden. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until it begins to color. Add the tomatoes, wine, sugar, salt, and chili pepper if using. Simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes.
  • Lay the squid in a single layer in an oven dish, pour the sauce over them, and place the clusters of tentacles at the top end of each squid. Cover with foil and bake in a preheated 400°F oven for 15-30 minutes, depending on the size of the squid.
  • Serve hot, sprinkled with parsley.
