"This is the best stuffed squid dish I've ever made! Once the squid is cleaned, which is easy but a bit tedious, the recipe comes together quickly and is absolutely fantastic! I didn't include instructions for cleaning the squid, but if you need help, a YouTube video is the best bet - there are plenty out there. I found this recipe of another recipe site, however there was no chef name, so don't know who to credit."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Clean the squid, setting aside the tentacles, and pat the tubes dry. YouTube has lots of instructional videos, if you need help.
Step 2
To make the stuffing, chop the tender parts of the tentacles and mix them with the bread crumbs, parsley, cheese, 1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic, egg and 1 teaspoon vegetable oil. Blend well, adding salt and pepper to taste.
Step 3
Spoon the stuffing mixture loosely into each squid tube and close with a toothpick. Do not over-stuff because the squid will shrink during cooking and you don't want them to burst open.
Step 4
Add remaining oil to a skillet large enough to hold squid in a single layer.
Step 5
Heat oil and cook sliced garlic until golden brown. Arrange the squid in oil and brown all sides lightly.
Step 6
Add the tomatoes, basil, oregano, rosemary, green pepper, remaining minced garlic, wine and salt and pepper to taste. Cover tightly and cook 25 to 30 minutes.
Step 7
Remove toothpick from squid and serve whole or sliced, alone or with pasta or over polenta.
