Squids for stuffing do not need to be boiled. If you stuff them raw and then bake them in the oven, they are guaranteed not to dry out and not turn out rubbery. All you need to do to pre-process the squid is to gut them and peel them off of the top pinkish film (if you bought peeled seafood, skip this step). I pour boiling water over the squid, and then peel off the skin under running cold water, scrubbing the insides.
For the filling, I boil rice in salted water - almost until cooked (it will spend quite a bit of time in the oven, so it should not be raw). I wash the boiled rice in water and let it drain. Boil 1 hard boiled egg separately. Thawing crab sticks.
Finely chop a boiled egg and crab sticks, mix with rice, salt and pepper to taste (you can add garlic and herbs if you like). In a small bowl, I crack a small raw egg with sour cream with a fork. Pour about half of the mixture into the filled bowl to make it more tender and not dry. If you do not want, then you can not use a raw egg with sour cream, then add mayonnaise to the filling, it will also turn out delicious.
I stuff the squid with a filling of rice and crab sticks, and pin it with toothpicks. You do not need to tamp too tightly, the filling should fit freely, then the rice will steam a little and it will turn out tastier. If you overdo it, it will leak out.
I spread the stuffed squid in a heat-resistant form, greased with vegetable oil. I grease the top with the remaining mixture of eggs and sour cream (or just sour cream, or mayonnaise).
I send it to the oven, preheated to 200 degrees. I bake for exactly 20 minutes. The squid is cooked in the oven quickly, in fact, as soon as it changes color from transparent white to matte, it is ready. It is important not to overexpose so that the meat does not turn out rubbery.
Serve warm or as a snack. I recommend sprinkling with lemon juice, lightly drizzle with oil and sprinkle with fresh dill. Bon Appetit

- crab sticks - 100 g;
- sweet pepper - 1 pc.;

How to cook stuffed squid with crab sticks?
1. Pink squids are thinner and more tender than white ones, therefore they are more suitable for stuffing. Fresh or after defrosting, the squid is boiled in boiling water for up to 5 minutes. The water can be slightly salted.
It is very important to understand and remember once and for all - the longer the squid is boiled, the tougher they become.
2. Crab sticks and green onions are chopped and sent to a bowl. If you wash green onions in warm water, their aroma will be even brighter.
3. There is also added soft melted cheese in jars like "Amber" or other thin and cream cheese. If the cheese is dense, then it will already have to be grated. Processed cheese also plays an important role in the recipe.
4. The minced meat is thoroughly mixed. It turns out bright, fragrant, tender and juicy, and sweet peppers also crunch pleasantly. To add spice to the filling, add a little black pepper.
5. Boiled squids are stuffed with minced meat and laid out on plates. You can put the squid in the refrigerator for half an hour, then they are better saturated.
As you can see, cooking stuffed squid doesn't require any supernatural ability. Baking yourself is another matter.
Stuffed squids with crab sticks are interesting because they combine a salad and a main course, while looking original and festive.
