Ingredients
Method
1.Pull gently on tentacles and remove body and guts. Peel off wings. Peel off outer purple membrane (if slippery, use a pinch of salt on finger tips to help) and inner clear membrane if there is one, usually found on older squid. Cut tentacles off below eyes; discard eyes, small black beak in centre of the tentacles and entrails. Remove clear quill from inside body, then remove side flaps and dark membrane. Rinse well; pat dry.
2.Mash cheese, chilli, oil and oregano together in small bowl. Spoon cheese mixture into calamari tubes; secure with toothpicks.
3.Combine calamari and tentacles in large shallow dish with rind, juice, garlic and extra oil. Cover; refrigerate 3 hours, turning occasionally.
4.Cook calamari and tentacles in heated oiled grill pan about 3 minutes each side or until browned and filling is heated through.
To save time, you can ask your fishmonger to clean your calamari for you, or buy it pre-prepared.
