    Great recipe. Just like my grandma used to make. She also stuffed the tubes. Chop up the tentacles and add toasted bread cubes, oregano basil and parsley onion garlic and finely chopped bell pepper. Add an egg to bind the stuffing. Sauté until tentacles are cooked and stuffing is firm, well cooked before stuffing into tubes. After adding to tube, fasten ends with toothpicks. Dredge like you did. She pan fried together crispy outside and tender stuffing. Same sauce you made was topped at serving. Remove toothpicks before serving. Very yummy. Thanks for the authenticity. Italians are passionate about our traditional foods. It’s art to us.

    Those look amazing. Squid & Octopus are so neglected as a home dish. The first time I had Calamari was in Spain, and I guess they just have BadAss squid there, were the size of big onion rings. Been a Superfan ever since. Love the buttermilk use. We usually soak/rinse in water & vinegar for a few minutes, drain & pat dry, flour, then egg wash, then finish in crunched Cheezits and fry.
