– 1 small onion, finely chopped
– 3 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

Follow these steps to create your Stuffed Squid Oven Baked with Aubergine and Peppers:

1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking.
2. Sauté Vegetables: In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Add minced garlic, diced aubergine, and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until tender.
3. Mix the Filling: In a bowl, combine the sautéed vegetables with cooked rice, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly distributed.
4. Stuff the Squid: Gently fill each squid tube with the vegetable and rice mixture. Be careful not to overstuff, as the squid will swell during cooking.
5. Arrange in a Baking Dish: Place the stuffed squid in a greased baking dish. If you have leftover stuffing, sprinkle it around the squid.
6. Bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the squid are cooked through.
7. Check for Doneness: The squid should be opaque with a slight firmness. Ensure it isn’t overcooked to maintain tenderness.
8. Garnish: Once cooked, remove the squid from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Sprinkle chopped parsley on top for an added touch of freshness.
9. Serve: Plate your stuffed squid with lemon wedges and any leftover roasted vegetables.

These steps will guide you through making a delicious and visually appealing dish that everyone will love.
