Author by
ADAM SWANSON

 

Ingredients 

 

500g San Remo Risoni
12 cleaned baby calamari
2 cups fresh bread crumbs
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 bunch basil
1 bunch flat leaf parsley
¼ cup mint leaves
¼ cup dill
¼ cup capers
¼ cup gherkins
1 tbspn garlic, crushed
1 tbspn lemon zest
½ cup extra virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper
2 tbspn olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 tbspn garlic
2 fresh bay leaves
2 tbspn red wine vinegar
2x 400g tins chopped tomatoes


Method 

 

Cook pasta as per packet directions until al dente, drain the pasta, toss with a little olive oil and cool down.
Once pasta has cooled, mix together with bread crumbs and prepared salsa verde. 

Add the egg and mix through the pasta.
Take the calamari and fill with stuffing. Don’t over fill as the filling will expand and cause the calamari to explode whilst baking. 

Once filled, close each end with a tooth pick.
Take a baking dish and spoon sauce over the base. 

Place calamari evenly around the dish and then season with salt and pepper.
Lightly cover the calamari with sauce and drizzle some oil over the top.
Cover with foil, place in the pre heated oven and bake for 20minutes.
Remove foil and bake for a further 5 minutes to give some colour.
Serve immediately.


Salsa verde Method 

 

Finely chop the basil, parsley, mint, dill, capers and gherkins and place in a bowl.
Add crushed garlic, zest and vinegar.
Gradually add the oil until well combined.
Season with salt and pepper, remembering capers are quite salty.


Sauce Method 

 

Take a pan and heat olive oil on a medium heat. 
Add onion, garlic and bay leaf.
Sauté for 3 to 5 minutes or until soft, add wine and reduce by half.
Next, add tomatoes, stir and bring to the boil then reduce heat to a simmer.
Cook for 20 minutes and season with salt and pepper.
