Stuffed Calamari
These stuffed calamari are light and full of flavour. We have stuffed them with breadcrumbs, herbs and cherry tomatoes and fried them up with fresh tomatoes and basil to make a delicious meal. To make life easy, consider making the crumb ahead of time and taking it on the road with you to stuff in your lovely fresh calamari.
