Battered Stuffed Squid

Battered Stuffed Squid

This was supposed to be another version of “Surf & Turf” but it ended up with the Squid being a cross between Stuffed Squid and battered Calamari. The prepared Squid were 0.64p with a yellow sticker when they should have been over £6 – They had very little chance of staying at the supermarket at that price!

Filling Ingredients:-

40g of Rice, boiled until fluffy, drained and cooled
6 Anchovies
1 Tbsp of Capers, drained
6 Sliced of Chorizo, chopped

Batter Ingredients:-

2 Eggs, whisked
Cornflour
Plain Flour (Gluten free for us)
Turmeric
Hot Chilli Powder
Garlic Salt
Onion Salt
Soda Water

Method:-

(1) Once the Rice is cool mix all the filling ingredients in a bowl
(2) Remove the ‘Head’ from the body and stuff the filling into the cavity.
(3) Shove the ‘Head’ part in with the ‘Legs’ hanging out.
(4) Mix the batter ingredients in a bowl.
(5) Heat a fryer to 160c.
(6) Dredge the stuff Squid in a little Flour.
(7) Dunk in the batter to evenly coat.
(7) Fry individually until the batter is golden brown.
(8) Drain on kitchen paper.

As always the small plate is for Smooh the Cat! She’s certainly extended her taste pallet over the last 9 months with us…….

Laver Cakes recipe, eat well on universal credit

Realistically this should be based on Oats but Sue can’t eat them, so we modified the recipe to use Quinoa flakes. If you’re good with Oats feels free the use them.

Ingredients:-

60g of Laverbread (½ a Tin in our case)
The Juice on ½ a Lemon
140g of Quinoa Flakes
Salt & Pepper to Season
About 120ml of Water
Oil to fry

Method:-

(1) Mix all ingredients with just enough Water to make a lumpy paste.
(2) Allow to stand for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
(3) If the mixture is too dry to form into balls between spoons stir in a little more Water.
(4) Heat Oil in a pan to a medium heat.
(5) Form the Cakes into balls between two dessert spoons and drip into the Oil.
(6) Flatten with a spatula into Cakes.
(7) Turn over several times until the outside is slightly browned and crispy.


Leverbread has a very distinctive ‘Sea’ favour and you really don’t need a lot to make a huge impact. We drizzled a little Mushroom sauce over ours as we thought they might be dry. But actually although they are crispy on the outside they are tender inside and very tasty.
