DISH WITH TISH: SQUID STUFFED WITH NDUJA & AIOLI

DISH WITH TISH: SQUID STUFFED WITH NDUJA & AIOLI

Smoky, rich and just the right amount of fiery, this Squid Stuffed with Nduja & Aioli recipe is made for long lunches and late summer suppers. Tender squid is filled with spicy nduja, charred over the grill and served with a silky homemade aioli that’s worth keeping in the fridge for whenever something needs a little extra indulgence.

Ingredients

  • 8 small whole squid, cleaned (tentacles reserved)
  • 120g nduja
  • 2 tbsp breadcrumbs
  • 1 small garlic clove, finely grated
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • Small handful flat‑leaf parsley, finely chopped
  • Olive oil
  • Sea salt & black pepper
  • Lemon wedges, to serve

For the aioli

  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 small garlic clove, crushed
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 120ml olive oil (a mix of light and extra virgin works nicely)
  • Sea salt

Directions

Mix the nduja, breadcrumbs, garlic, lemon zest and parsley. A small drizzle of olive oil will help bring it together. Season lightly.

Stuff the Squid

Using your fingers or a small spoon, fill each squid body about two‑thirds full. Don’t overpack; they tighten on the grill. Secure with a toothpick if needed.
Brush lightly with olive oil and season.

For the Aioli

Whisk the yolk, garlic, mustard and lemon juice in a bowl. Slowly trickle in the olive oil, whisking constantly, until thick and glossy. Season with salt and adjust the lemon to taste.
Get a grill pan or barbecue good and hot. Grill the stuffed squid and tentacles for 2-3 minutes per side until charred and just cooked through – you want that smokiness without letting them toughen.

Spoon a generous dollop of aioli onto plates, top with the grilled squid and finish with a squeeze of lemon and a little more parsley if you like.
