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.
For the aioli
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.
Fire, smoke and generous plates laid out for the table.
