Steps

  • Clean the squid by removing the tentacles, quill, guts, and skin.
  • Roughly chop half of the tentacles and set them aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C and oil a large baking dish.
  • Fry garlic, anchovies, and capers in olive oil until anchovies dissolve.
  • Add chopped tentacles and stir-fry for five minutes before adding wine to evaporate.
  • Cool the mixture then stir in bread, pine nuts, lemon zest, and parsley.
  • Fill squid sacs with the mixture and tuck reserved tentacles into the ends.
  • Place squid in the dish, drizzle with oil, cover with foil, and bake for 45 minutes.
  • Remove foil and bake for another 15 minutes until golden-brown.
  • Combine radicchio and onion in a bowl with a dressing of oil and vinegar.
  • Serve the baked squid alongside the fresh salad.
