Sicilian Stuffed Calamari in Tomato & White Wine Sauce

Stuffed calamari, or calamari ripieni, is found throughout southern Italy, with recipes changing from family to family. This Sicilian-inspired version takes whole calamari tubes and fills them with breadcrumbs, chopped tentacles, garlic, parsley, Parmesan, and lemon. Instead of frying, the stuffed calamari gently braise in a tomato and white wine sauce until tender. Slice them at the table and you get the payoff: beautiful rounds of calamari surrounding a fragrant, savory filling.
