To prepare the stuffed squid with feta and cherry tomatoes, first, clean the squid following the instructions in our guide “How to clean squid”.

Cook the tentacles in a skillet with 1.5 tbsps of oil for about 4 minutes over medium heat. Meanwhile, wash and chop the cherry tomatoes into pieces 3.

Chop the parsley 4 and the garlic, then crumble the feta and combine all the ingredients in a bowl. Also, add the cooked tentacles 5 and mix well 6.

Fill the squid bodies with the stuffing 7 and seal the opening with a toothpick. At this point, place the stuffed squids on a well-heated cast iron grill and cook them for 4 minutes per side 8, then transfer the squids to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper 9. Season with salt, pepper, and the other 1.5 tbsps of oil and bake at 340°F for 5 minutes on convection mode. Your stuffed squids with feta and cherry tomatoes are ready to be served!
