It struck me a while ago that stuffed squid was a canvas very much like chiles rellenos. You can go in a million directions with it. I've stuffed squid with a ground veal mixture, spiced rice and veggies, or, once, duxelles. You can bake them or grill them. They were all good, but when the relleno analogy struck me, I realized I might be able to combine two of my favorite things on earth: squid and rellenos. I tried to stuff the squid into the chiles, but that...well..was not a great product. So I went for the inverse, and it turned out to be a delicious hit. <br /> <br />Be warned! You likely will have some extra stuffing. In which case I suggest you bite the bullet: put it in the fridge and the next day add an egg and a little bit of breadcrumbs, form them into balls, dredge/coat them, and fry them. <br />
